A poem for mom


This picture was taken on my 15th birthday at The movieland Wax museum in California.
I wrote a song for my mom! I'll share the words with you!




My Hero
(Written for my mom 2009)

I don’t know if you ever knew
How much I look up to you…
And did ya 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 God has paved for me.

And

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’ve 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,
‘Cause I knew that you loved me from the start.

And

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’ve 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!

That picture is sooo cute! I never realized how much Brian looks like your mom! That's one of the only pictures of Leon besides the one used for family pics.
I bet your mom loves that poem! She deserved it! You are so talented

What a sweet poem for you mom. I bet my mom wishes I could write like you....sadly I can't. So I'll just have to give her a hug instead. You are amazing!
