Your the Best -'A Mother'

My youngest daughter wrote these lyrics for her musical composition, which she played on her guitar and sang to her Mother on Mothers Day as her gift to her. It's an example of her philosophy. One presented in a jovial way, that is, less is more. In this instance her gift cost her nothing, but her precious time, a priceless eternal gift to her mother, a Mother whose the best Mother, and oh yes and is simply the best, as she's also my wife.

You're the Best

Thank you for taking me everywhere
For always being there for everything

Thank you for all the warm hugs
For the endless love and encouragement

Thank you for all the small things
Like movies, coffee and cake
Even cans of braised steak

Thank you for always saying yes
To buying me a new dress
Or a new pair of shoes

You're the best
You're so selfless
So much more than many other mums
You're the best
You're ten out of ten
On the scale of selfless devotion

Thank you for singing to me
When I was in the womb
Thank you for my pretty yellow room

Thank you for the idiosyncrasies
Oh how they have taught me
The science of heredity

Thankyou for the words of wisdom when I was sad
For not telling dad, how much my shoes cost

Thankyou for teaching me right and wrong
Thankyou for being strong
When I was awful to you

You're the best
You're so selfless
So much more than many other mums
You're the best
You're ten out of ten
On the scale of selfless devotion

Well I would be singing all day to mention the rest
So in summary I repeat youre the best

I think you should pat yourself on the back
For all that your've achieved
For passing on your genes

Especially the musical one
Of course of those there are tunes
Clearly evident in this piece !! (ha ha)

You're the best
You're so selfless
So much more than many other mums
You're the best
You're ten out of ten
On the scale of selfless devotion
