Underneath Your Wings
When I was born you protected me with your kiss
You looked into my eyes and made promises with a wish
You raised me with your heart, tears and sweat
Embracing motherhood you took a bet
You placed one foot in front of the other with no regret
Against all odds you held your head up high and proud
You taught me to be strong and to speak out loud
You showed me how to face the sun, where the light shines on my face
You pointed my hands toward the stars and said I can reach that place
You always covered me with warmth no sun could make
Your strength and courage no one can take
You are a mother, a woman, a daughter and a kin…
You are somebody special, my best friend.
