If I had to begin again,
a thousand times, a thousand ways,
I’d still choose you to be my mom—
in every lifetime, in every day.
The world may change, the years may fade,
But some bonds time cannot erase.
You spent half your life waiting for me,
I’ll spend half mine missing you.
I look at you and see myself
like a real life mirror.
Through laughter, tears, and quiet nights,
You’ve been my safety and song.
No matter where this life may lead,
Your love will help me along.
No matter what happens,
I will always choose you.
No matter the time or the place.
I’d choose you, Mom.
Each and every lifetime.
