My Hero, My Mom

My Hero, My Mom

 -Jana Jeppson

I don’t know if you ever knew
How much I look up to you…
And did you know that I can see
A hero in you … shining for me

Showing me the way …
You taught me first to pray
And promised if I had faith, I’d see
The path that my Father In Heaven  paved for me.

Every memory that we share
Is a picture you painted there,
To live forever in my soul …
Dear Mom,
I just need you to know …

For all the times that I should have said it,
I don’t ever want to regret it …
Please understand how much you mean to me.
And the hero in you is now a part of me!

There were times when I didn't hear
Didn't listen, didn't care
And things would sometimes fall apart

But I knew I could come to you
I trusted that you would see me through
And help me heal my broken heart,
because I knew that you loved me from the start.

Dear Mom, I mean it when I say

The joy you bring me will always stay

and for all the times that I should have said it,

I don’t ever want to regret it …
Please understand how much you mean to me.
And the hero in you is now a part of me!
A hero that will live eternally.
