When I think about this Christmas,
All the presents by the tree,
I realize the gift of TIME,
Yet I’m only 43.

As I go to hang my stocking,
Mother nothings been the same,
Knowing I can’t stop the clock,
Or rewind it to ease your pain.

The gift of life you’ve given me,
A strong faith in the Lord,
Every day has been Christmas,
From the day that I was born.

Your smile, and your patience,
Your kindness, and your honesty,
How blessed I have been Mother,
For you’re the greatest gift to me.

You’re my inspiration,
Always a hug and kiss goodbye,
You’re always my reminder,
As I give my all when I choose to try.

When you want to see an angel,
Look in the mirror you will see,
You’ve been my Christmas,
My very special angel... for my infinity.

Oh I know life has it’s up and downs,
I know God has a plan,
I believe we all do have our time,
So I try to understand.

The clock is always ticking,
When the day comes to an end,
I say my prayers and give my thanks,
For my mother and my friend.

You’re the very present,
I can only wish to be,
The mother of all mothers,
My angel and prosperity.

I know our time is limited,
Yet I know it’s time to say....
Christmas will be with me,
Forever, and in every day.

I will hold your memory,
Always in high esteem,
When the clock stops ticking,
In my heart you’ll always be.

From generation to generation,
I pray the kids will know,
A mother’s love is the greatest seed,
That we can ever sow.

Mother my time with you,
Has been the greatest gift of all,
You've taught me lessons, changed my life,
We've had such a ball.

So with this I want to THANK YOU,
A song straight from my heart,
You'll always be a special gift to me,
Though I know we are far apart.

This is written for my mom who was diagnosed with being in the final stages of COPD. She has surpassed doctors expectations and lived beyond the time they expected.

Very touching

Beautiful

Awesome girl you need to print that up and put it in a frame and give it to her for x-mas she would love it.

My mother is in the same stage of COPD. I'll say a prayer for you and your mother. What a wonderful tribute to her.

Oh that is so touching!
I agree with txsgal3333 -frame it! It's wonderful!

Oh Mystique that was beautiful...

Knowing you- you probbley allready have sent it.

Thank you everyone for your positive feedback. Since my dh has been laid off, I realized the gift of TIME. However, I am rich beyond worldly things when I look into my children's eyes. Noah who had his heart surgery in AUG is doing well, and his birthday comes in January. For those who do not know Noah has Down syndrome, and he had two holes in his little heart. Time is the most precious gift for us. I found out my uncle died yesterday, and I told myself that NOW was the best time to write my mom a song.

Teddy I have not given it to her yet. However,framing it may be a great idea for Christmas!
