Standing in my pearl white dress,
I look upon my siblings and mother
When I look upon my Mom,
A tear travels down my cheek
My toast is not for my husband,
But for my mother...
Center the light please
On the woman who made it happen
The one who raised us all
From the oldest, right down to the baby, Me.
Never once giving up on any of us
For 40 something years and here we are
Through all the beautiful days and the dark ones
Remembering how she'd always remind us
"I would do it all over again"
Even if she had to....
Accept that the first wanted to quit school to get a job
Go half crazy when the second decided to jump off
The top of the roof with an umbrella...'Mr. Mary Poppins'
The third who always seemed to leave on his on
Even though he was only 4 years old ..He wanted a coke!
The first girl..The fourth child who'd swing from the kitchen table,
Even after Mom repeatedly told her not to.
The fifth boy who smoked in the back room.. when she asked...
He answered "yes" and she replyed "OH! STOP LYING!"
The sixth who would never listen when she was being told
She drove her car too much
Right down to the seventh child, Me, who couldn't drive well
"She won't drive until she's 21, I guess" Mom said, giggling...
"I'd do it all again"
My definition of true love, is you, Mom.
You've loved us all...Guided us as well and as far as you could.
Helped in whatever way...you would
It ends with me ... the line of children
And without you, I would never be at this point
I would have never found this man,
I would have never knew what real love is.
I owe you my life, my world, my everything.
You are my everything.
"Thank You, Mom, I love You"
Now all the kids are standing, in applause for my Mom
The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh.
We love you, Mom
