Just like a mother

Just like a mother,
You were always there.
And if I was sad,
You really did care.
Just like a mother,
You had a smile so bright.
Which shone with the stars,
That came out at night.
Just like a mother,
With the love you gave.
And those trusting words,
I will keep and save.
Just like a mother,
Through heartache and pain.
You'd hold me so tight,
Through sunshine and rain.
Just like a mother,
You saw me through.
And if I felt down,
I could turn to you.
Now when I'm down,
I'll look at the night sky.
And say all my prayers,
To you up high.
I'll never forget you,
And there can be no other.
Because to me,
You were just like a mother.
