To the woman who made me a better me,

You loved and sheltered me,

Like the soil does a seed,

Forgive me for my mistakes I know I’ve hurt you like insects and weeds,

You were my sunshine,

The way you shined your light on me makes me want to succeed,

You’re my loving flower,

And I’m the soil the light and the nutrients you need,

So don’t you see,

That without each other we can never be,

That beautiful flower or that tall tree,

Without you I’m but a lonely seed,

But in your hands I can grow into the man you want me to be,
