If I know what love is it's because of you.
If I've stopped to taste the beauty of a flower or the stars or the rain,
it's because I once saw you do the same.
If I've fallen asleep with a smile and a dream of what my wondrous life could be, it's because you told me how.
If you've ever wondered if you're perfect
If you're beautiful
Or exquisite beyond words,
It's because I've written this poem and only now told you just how true it is.
You are lovely.
You are beautiful and exquisite beyond words.
You are kind.
You are my mother and that will always make me sing.
If I know how to sing
How to love
How to live
It's because of you.
