Happy Birthday Mom

Because You're My Mom

by Linda Arlene Fassett

Because you are my mom you loved me before I was ever seen

You thanked God for this miracle, this little human being

So exciting, yet so fragile it all must have seemed to you then

Hearing my little heart beat inside of you, now life begins

Because you are my mom no pain was too great for you to bear

Now you're a mother and I your child with joys and pains to share

And so into this world my life began each breath now on my own

One day we will look back at just how much I've grown

Because you are my mom you worried for me within your every bone

You finally let go of my little hand to take my first steps on my own

Because you are my mom you showed me through the years

To care about others and their feelings and the things that they hold dear

Because you are my mom you taught me right from wrong

Understanding that my faith in God will forever keep me strong

Showing me that being my own person is the only tool I'll need

When morals and values are your foundation to succeed

Because you are my mom you loved me enough to also be my friend

You would be right there in ways that no one could see see or ever comprehend

When there was no way I thought you could ever understand

There you would be, non-judging and willing to lend a hand

Because you are my mom, God's gift to me was you

As your daughter I will always love you and promise to be true

I thank you for so many things and will try to never make you sad or blue

Because you are my mom, and one-day I will be a mother too

I pray I never forget all that you've been through

I am your daughter and in your image I am proud to be

By the grace of the Lord you were created, and then I came to be

Rad hair!

Nice wave brah!

"Work that ponytail girl"

What a handsome couple!

Hoota hoota!!

Happy birthday Mom!!

I couldn't have asked for a better role model, friend and mother.  God truly blessed me with you! You have been there through every phase of life, every new thing I adventured- you were always willing to be my guinea pig.  Thank you for not just being a great Mom, but for also being my best friend.  Thank you for all the times you boogie boarded with me, played Barbies with me, and visited me here in Colorado.

Sorry I couldn't be there to celebrate with you, but I am here celebrating you!!

I love you with all my heart! And I hope this is the best year yet!

Love, Chris
