I always wanted to be just like you
You handled life's problem with such love and grace
Every time I looked up mesmerized by the beautiful view
I couldn't help but be amazed
You were so brave and so strong
To endure all the sadness and trauma our family went through
I wish I could put all this down in a song
A heart like yours is embodied by few
At such a young married age you lost a child
Daddy drowned his sorrows and couldn't comfort you
That was just the beginning of your lifelong trials
your broken heart nearly gave out the first time daddy became untrue to you
I sometimes saw you so sad and wondered why
You just didn't give up, you didn't give in
Your beautiful face forcing back the tears your eyes wanted to cry
The cracks in your soul sometimes showed glimpses of your pain within
But you stayed on course, strong and true
Raising all your children that managed to survive
I didn't realize then I was looking at my own life preview
It would take all I learned from you to keep me and my child alive
So today I thank God I had a mother like you
Watching you prepared me for what one day I would go through
As I look in the mirror it's easy to see
There is mama looking back at me.
