My First Love
You were the first love of my life
The one I wanted for my wife
You were such an inspiration
Gave me love and dedication
You cared for me when I was ill
Gave me warmth when I had a chill
Forgave me when I pitched a fit
And not once did you ever quit
When others would have given up
You would gladly bring me a cup
You were always understanding
When I was my most demanding
You made me laugh when I was sad
You helped calm me when I was mad
You washed my clothes and fixed me meals
Helped me through so many ordeals
To me that really means a lot
More than any present you bought
You would always answer my knock
You were always my solid rock
Yet you always had a soft touch
You helped me grow and taught me much
No one could ever outshine you
I always knew your love was true
Even when we were miles apart
You were always here in my heart
I never took you to the prom
But I will love you always mom
