Gratitude Poems Quotes

“Always There For Me
Ode to my beloved Mother

When there is no sunshine
And stars do not shine in the night
When the moon is not so bright
And there seems to be no light
You are always there for me

When darkness is here
And my pillow becomes a pool of tears
When I am surrounded by fear
And I need you near
You are always there for me

When the seas are rough on my side
And I swim against the tide
When I run out of time
And I struggle in life
You are always there for me

When I am soaked in the rain
And cloaked by pain
When sadness puts me under strain
And my joy goes down the drain
You are always there for me

When my mornings find me mourning
And middays appear cloudy
When midnights are filled with groaning
And my new dawn is being delayed
You are always there for me

When the road is long
And I need strength to go on
When my voice is gone
And I cannot sing a song
You are always there for me

When my heart is weak
And I feel so weary
When there is no sign of victory
And I sometimes worry
You are always there for me”
