My Constant Star
When I was born
And there was no hope
She was the one
Who wouldn’t let go
When I was in preschool
And I ran a race
She was right by my side
When I won first place
She was the one who taught me
The things I know
Of my noble birthright
And heavenly goal
When I was in junior high
And I was failing a class
She was right on it
Making sure I passed
When I was in high school
Dealing with the death of a friend
She was there to remind me
Her life didn’t end
She is a constant star
Everywhere I go
Reminding me of
The truths I know
When I was in college
And we moved to a new place
She was there to help me
Find my space
When I was in labor
And almost died
She was by my side
When the baby cried
When I got divorced
And my world came crashing down
She was right beside me
Keeping my feet on the ground
When I made my mistakes
And went the wrong way
She was still there to love me
Every single day
Now as I move on
To get married again
If only she knew
What her love meant
I love you mom
For all that you are
You’re my best friend
And constant star
