For My Mom

For when some days seem harder than the rest and some nights seem longer than all the others:

Don't forget you are beautiful
Don't forget you are strong
Don't forget you are loved
Don't forget I love you

Don't forget the beauty in your smile
Don't forget the beauty in your laugh
Don't forget the beauty in your words
Don't forget I love you

Don't forget you are my best friend
Don't forget you are my guiding light
Don't forget I love you

Don't forget to get lost in a good book
Don't forget to go on senseless car rides
Don't forget to hear the sound of waves crashing
Don't forget I love you

Don't forget every hard day will soon be over when the clock strikes midnight
Don't forget you don't have to have it all figured out
Don't forget it's alright to fall down as long as you get back up
Don't forget I love you

Don't forget you are only human
Don't forget you are enough
Don't forget I love you
