You were my strength, my support
Your husband, my dad was dead
And I was an age that didn’t understand the world
But somehow, I heard what you said
You taught me standards I still hold dear
Of course I have slipped at times, don’t we all
But I remember your courage, your determination
And I am stronger after every fall
I am not of an age where I look back
And I see so much of you in me
I wish I had understood years ago
That it is your spirit that make me me.
