for the 10 years you've survived
and for the 32 years i've been your daughter
and for the 62 years God has blessed us all with your life...
you are
my champion, my friend, my hero
my mom
i am so proud to know you, to have
seen your struggle, your grace,
and your victory,
to have been able to
keep your life in my life.
i am so proud to be yours.
i've listened to
this song for years and have never been able to listen
all the way through
without tears.
this song was written for you, even if the songwriter didn't
know it.
it was written for you, from me.
i've known all along that i
needed to give it to you in some way, but
there has never been just the
right occasion, a time when it would
give its full effect of how much i owe you.
but i guess it was being saved until now.
mom, i give you this flower because...
play song
"this flower" by Kasey Chambers"this flower" lyrics
well this flower is my soul
but it's not half of what i owe
i should give you
every rose that ever grew
but take this one here for a start
and you can keep it in your
heart
i have everything i need because of you
well if my life was long enough
to pack up
everything i love
i would do just that and give it all to you
but it's impossible to pay
all the things you gave away
so this flower i give will have to do
all the flowers growing
wild for ten thousand lonely miles
it's not near enough to give you what i should
so i
will owe you for a while
maybe longer than my time
i would give you all the world if i
could
