Mothers Day

You always took the hardest road

You never settled for second best

Life may not have been fair

but you always passed the test

you took on what others would not

What was given to you was never forgot

but used to help those who never got.

with the chances of a lifetime you'd never boast

and with all the hardships you made the most

you took me farther than any could.

with Gods grace you held my hand.

and now left alone I make my stand

my roads no shorter but my stride is long

my burdens no lighter but my back is strong

my path is as step but I am steady on my feet

Like a guiding light on a cold winter night

leading me further than I could have alone

and now here I am farther than I could ever hope

and with Christ as my guide I too will not boast

I now see where he may lead and he is were I lean.

But still until this life is through

my nights will be darker

my walks will be colder

As I live my life without you
