Sweet Mother of mine, I pray you are doing fine.
Beautiful Mother that I love, I?m glad you are mine.
What other mother would I ever want when I have you?
Oh, dear, sweet, caring, beautiful, loving Mother, 
  I love you, I really do.
Dear Mother, if there comes a time that you have to go away,
I promise, I give you my oath, I will think of you every day.
Take care where you may go, and take care in what you may do,
Take care, sweet mother of mine, because I really worry for you.
Oh, precious Mother, I love you true,
I love you, Mother, yes, you know I do, 
And the times I can?t see you, I?m so blue.
Oh, dear Mother, I love you.
I pray the Angels watch over you 
As you sleep, and throughout the day,
I pray that they keep you out of harm's way.
Be careful of the choices you make, 
Be careful of the steps you take.
I know life is hard, but I also know you will get through.
You just have to have faith in God, because he has faith in you.
No matter how many more mistakes,
No matter how long it takes, 
I know how hard things get 
Especially when we just can?t forget
The pain we?ve all gone through.
Dear Mother, I?ve cried so many tears for you. 
Oh, Mom, don?t get sad, please give me a smile.
Maybe I should try making funny faces for a while.
Now I see you smile, so I smile, too,
Oh, Dear Mother, I Truly Love You.
				Love Always and Forever
			          Your daughter,
			              Denise Naomi Alba
