Song for my mother

This is a terribly belated Mother's Day slash birthday present for my mother. I wrote this around Mother's Day, along with some cheesy 4 chords, with the intention of recording it and sending it to my mom who is 300+ miles away. As is my way, I broke my microphone and have not been able to record it still. Out of fear of losing the lyrics, I'm putting them up here.


Chorus
(First time: Although) (Subsequent repetitions: ...and though) today's just another day
In what's turning out to be just another year
I just wanted you to know
That I'm grateful for all of your love.

Verse 1
You've been with me since before I could crawl
Catching me each time that I fall
I've grown to be a better man because of you
So now I ask myself 'what can I do?'
To show you how much you mean

Chorus

Verse 2
Through life, through love I've learned from you
Lessn's still I find ring true
You've always said the hardest part is showing up
Now I see how true it can be
I've been blessed to have such wonderful friend

Chorus


I'm still unhappy with the lyrics; I used to be a much better writer, but alas all things fade with time and a lack of practice. Still, I hope she finds it meaningful and day-brightening even if it is late.
