The Light That Guides Our Way

You wake us up with love each day,
Then guide us gently on our way.
With steady hands and heart so wide,
You walk through life right by our side.

You give your time, you give your grace,
To every child, in every place.
You're always there with hands to lend,
A trusted helper, guide, and friend.

You don’t need praise, you never boast,
But you’re the one who gives the most.
At every school event or fair,
We turn around—and you are there.

You helped us craft with gentle care,
The cards we brought to seniors there.
And now you lead, with joy and pride,
When we have questions, you’re our guide.

You taught us giving isn’t small,
It’s where we find the joy in all.
In lemonade and garage sales too,
We learned to give by watching you.

We watch, we learn, we proudly see,
The kind of woman we hope to be.
Strong yet gentle, bold and true,
The world is kinder thanks to you.

So here’s our note, both proud and sweet,
To say you make our lives complete.
Happy Mother’s Day, our light, our song,
With you beside us, we are strong.
