I know it isn't often I tell you that I love you,
I don't think I've told you how much I care.

You are my mother, you are my friend,
You are the voice that guides me.

Your love spreads over me like a blanket,
Protecting me from the storm.

Your gentle hand has shown me the way,
And now I choose my own path to follow.

Although I'm doing things more on my own,
I still need your advice and protection.

I am the person I am today,
And all because you love me.

With Love and Gratitude,
Your Daughter
