There You'll Always Be

When the thunder came roaring,
there you would always be.
Right beside my favorite pillow,
ready to comfort me.

You'd comb my hair back so tight,
laughing as you'd go.
Buying me the cutest outfits,
to your friends I'd always show.

Through life's scrapes and cuts,
my band-aid you would be.
Knowing how to fix the pain,
never you would flee.

Boys would come and, they would go,
though you would always stay.
Through the tears, and the pleas,
you would never go away.

I'm thankful for each fight,
as horrible as it may be.
I hope you will always be there,
ready to rescue me.

There you'll always be,
through pain and harmony.
This I offer to you,
for a special mom like you.
