I Love You, Mom
... and I Want You to Know Why
I Feel So Proud to Be Your Daughter 

You are a remarkable woman
who accomplishes so much as a 
strong woman
in a man's world
You are strong but soft
You are strong but caring
You are strong but compassionate

You are a remarkable woman
who accomplishes so much as a 
giving woman
in a selfish world
You give to your friends
You give to your family
You give to everyone

You are a remarkable woman
who is also a remarkable mother
And you are loved by so many people
whose lives you have touched -
especially me
