Time and time again the sun has risen

Time and time again you have given

For all the times I did not know

You were there and made your heart show

Like dew on a summer rose

Your beauty stretches as far as a line goes

Wearing your heart on your sleeve

Raising me, promising you’ll never leave

Waking up when the sun does

And your eyes, they push and shove

From freezing December to beautiful May

Kissing my tears away

Love is the slingshot; when I’m lost, it brings me back

You’ve allowed me to live without lack

A child’s mind is active in play

Thank goodness I have a mother like you to stay!
