From the naive sixteen year old
That thought you were the coolest
Best friends mom
From the joyous bride
That knew you were the best
Husband's mom
From the one with a new babe in her arms
That knew you were one of the smartest
Of any mom
From the sorrowful young woman still learning
Blessed that it was now you
Her only mom
From the woman crying at the courthouse
Dissolving all of the ties
That made you her mom
From the mother of five teens and tweens
Glad to know that you were there
Their grand-mom
From the one not allowed to mourn
Wishing she could still
Call you "mom"
