My Mom is a cozy place
Like a warm cup of cocoa
Or a pillow trimmed with lace
My Mom’s love is all mine
I can always depend
She’s more than a mom
She’s my best friend

Burning sands, ever shifting
Desert of life I must pass through
When I sink, two hands are lifting
Helping me to start anew
She’s the oasis where I may rest
She, who always knows me best
Diamond in the rough
