I see your mommy when I look at you
The cute things you say, the sweet things you do
I see your mommy when she was too was three
She’d too want a kiss, when she skinned her knees
I see your mommy when I watch you sleep
That beautiful face, my heart skips a beat.
I see your mommy in your innocence
She as a child is still now my princess
Rememberin’ about yesterday my how the years have flown
I can’t believe she has a son, raising him alone
In ways she’s still my little girl, I guess because I’m mom
It’s hard to give my baby wings but she too is now a mom.
I see your mommy when you stare at me
The way that you smile, a treasure I’ll keep
I see your mommy when you fall and cry
You both get back up, give it one more try.
I see your mommy when I comb your hair
You and your mommy, you make quiet a pair.
I see your mommy, when you run to me
I wish your mommy, still lived here with me.
Rememberin’ about yesterday my how the years have flown
I can’t believe she has a son, raising him all alone
In ways she’s still my little girl, I guess because I’m mom
It’s hard to give my baby wings but she too is now a mom.

I wrote this for Lori and gave it to her for part of her Mother's Day gift.
