You tell me do my homework, and go to bed by nine

You tell me that you love me, almost all the time

You tell me “don’t forget…” and ask me how’s my day

But today is going to be different, here’s what I’ve got to say

You are an awesome mother, in fact you are the best

I’m glad you are my mother because you’re nothing like the rest

You let me have a laptop, and even own a phone

And let me go places, with my friends all on my own

But really why I love you, is because you’re not just my mother

You’re my counselor,  my leader, and my example in my life

And today you get to shine, because today you are the highlight
