People always say I have a laugh

Like my mother does

Guess that makes sense

She taught me how to smile

 

When things get rough

I’ve got her spirit, she’s always got my back

When I look at her I think

I want to be just like that

 

When I love I give it all I’ve got

Like my mother does

When I’m scared, I bow my head and pray

Like my mother does

 

When I feel weak and unpretty

I know I’m beautiful and strong

Because I see myself

Like my mother does

 

I’ve never met a stranger, I can talk to anyone

Like my mother does

I let my temper fly, but she can walk away

When she’s had enough

 

She sees everybody

For who they really are

I’m so thankful for her guidance

She’s helped me get this far

 

– Lauren Alaina, “Like My Mother Does”

 

It’s 12  : 56 PM on day 1336 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth, pray,  read Psalm 23,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my  Kid of the Week feature, feed myself  a peanut butter sandwich  for breakfast, go to church, set up an email address and a Skype account as a Mother’s Day gift to my mom (happy Mother’s Day mom thank you for everything you’ve done for me and continue to do for me) –   and promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – still on $802.85. 

 

Today being Mother’s Day I thought I’d share with you a song I think was written for and about mothers everywhere. Listen to “Like My Mother Does” by Lauren Alaina below:
