Extraordinary

She doesn't know the way she adds
to my life
If I were to tell her she wouldn't
understand
She feels so ordinary
When really she's quite grand

At times she's aggravating
No one's perfect after all
Yet I know our time grows
short now
The writings on the wall
And the thought of life
without her
Has me feeling rather small

So for now I am the strong one
The roles have turned around
She was my rock in life's dark times
She was my solid ground

She's still a force, a gentle power
Within my heart she'll always be
my strength
my conscience, my best champion
The best a mom can be
