A Song for Mom

[I wrote this song for my mom for Mother's Day]

Mom, I'm so sorry
For all the heartache
Now, it's but a memory
I don't want to recreate
Now that I've grown
I have seen the love you shown
I wish that I had known this from the start

Thank you, Mom, for loving me
I know that you'll be there for me
Through all the good times and the bad
I know you've always prayed for me
I wish that I had known this from the start
But now, I feel
The love that's in your heart

Mom, please forgive me
For all the agony
I've said things I shouldn't have
If only I could take them back
Now that I'm grown
And now that my own kids are born
I wish that I could love them with your heart

Thank you, Mom, for loving me
I know you've always cared for me
Through all the good times and the bad
I know you've always stood by me
I wish that I had seen this from the start
But now, I see
We're always in your heart

And I just thank our dear God
For this sweet second chance
To show you how much you mean to us
Across the miles that sever us

Mom, I'm so sorry..

I wish that I had shown you from the start
But now I see
I clearly see
We're always in your heart

Now I know
I hope you know
You're always in my heart
