Happy Mother s Day To You Mateo Bennett His Mother Created

The morning sun is breaking through, I'm standing at the door for you. Holding these roses in my hand, a grown up boy, a quiet man. He used to say don't spend too much, just come back home, that is enough. I always thought you needed less, I finally see the rest. I remember when your shoes were small, marking your height upon the wall. I worked two shifts to buy your clothes, shielded you from the winter snows. You gave me every dime you saved, to see me fearless and so brave. You never told me you were tired, just kept my little world inspired. I thought you were just made of stone, I never let you feel alone, all the love you showed instead. Still echoes softly in my head, I understand you mom. The quiet grace, the endless calm, while you stood and took the fall. Just to give me the world and all. Now I'm standing at your door, loving you more than before. I spent my years just running free, you gave your youth to shelter me. I see the silver in your hair, the gentle lines of love and care. Your hands are rough from years of strain, but they still wash away my pain. You take the flowers with a smile, and hold me tightly for a while. It's when the teardrops hit me hard, the strongest woman in my heart. Every night when the house was dark, I hid the worries in my heart. Praying the world would treat you right, and keep you safe inside the light. So I smiled and hid the tears, swallowed my own doubts and fears. You saw a mother standing tall, I just wanted to catch you when you fall. All the fears we never showed, are melting on this winding road. Now the silence starts to break, with every heartbeat that we take. I sat beside you on the porch, I'll always be your guiding torch. Happy Mother's Day to you, my greatest gift was having you. I'd never say it enough, I love you mom. I know my son, I always know. I finally unend you mom, through every storm you kept me calm. Every tear you wiped away, brought me to where I stand today. Now I feel it in my soul, your love is what has made me whole. I'm not the man I wanna be just yet, but I'll make you proud, I promise that. I'll always be my greatest joy. And every step, I feel who you are.
