Dedicated to the woman who gave me something that not even a lifetime full of work could ever repay...But its a start.

Appreciation Song

Hook:
I Never meant to cause you so much pain
I'm grateful for the love you always gave
This is my appreciation song to you
And even at times when my skies were grey
You lit it up and told me its ok
That's why no one can take your place from you

Verse 1:
Even when everybody doubted me you told me I could do it
Never beat around the bush but instead you ran through it
You kept a smile even through all the rough times
And said "what's mine is yours and what's yours in mine."
Never neglected me or gave up, not for a second
Said with every mistake I made comes a valuable lesson
Never the second, I put you at the top of my list
And through this song I learned
All along you was right, I was wrong
Through the fight, you was strong
From the night, to the morn'
You only wanted what's right for you son
A real mom and I owe you my life
If I could I'd make the sun shine bright for you all through the night
Living up to the hype, you're everything I need and more
Like Wilt Chamberland, nobody's gonna beat your score
Just wondering if it hurt when you feel from the sky
No doubt in my mind, that my mother's an angel in disguise

-Hook-

Verse 2:
Every morning I wake up, and I thank god that I'm alive
And let him know I appreciate the ones he put by my side
Cuz you thought to be humble and utilize what I'm given
Never had it all but could have been stuck in a worse position (like)
Them dark days when we barely had food in the crib
Or when we got evicted didn't have nowhere to live
U hid ur pain with a smile and did your best for ur kids
U said that this is just a test, or a lesson, a bridge
U made full course meals outta scraps everyday
And if the neighbors were hungry even fixed them a plate
Never because lack of nutrition did my stomach ache
Next to the definition of love should be my mother's face
Never can words ever justify
Or accurately describe how you've touched my life
Encouraged my dreams and told me I can touch the sky
So your happily ever after, I must supply, ur love is why...

Bridge:
I just wanna say Momma
How do you do the things you do
With all the pain ur heart endures
But manage to always pull us through
And i wanna say Momma
Im gonna give you this whole world
I swear you'll never hurt again
And you'll get all that you deserve

-Hook-

Outro:
Dear God,
I bow my head and come to you as a humble servant.
To express my overflowing gratitude for all that you have given me
And to ask you for one thing and just one thing only
I pray that if you never give me another blessing after that you please bless me with all that is necessary to make my mother proud
Thank you
Amen
