~~~~ Only once in your life Will someone so special Walk in front ofyou And prepare the way For a better future. Only once will there be a person Who cares enough to say "no" But is enthusiastic enough to say 'yes"
Whenever possible. Only once in your life Will someone wait patiently
While you make The most important decisions ofyour life.
Only once will you know someone Who has the courage not to back down
From a decision she's made. Only once will you have the opportunity
To be loved by someone Who could never love you more
Than she does every day. A mother's love is one of a kind.
