Every Mile of the Ride
A Mother's Love: Guiding Every Mile of Life's Ride
Lyrics
You poured it on and poured it out
You supported and withdrew emotions
Taught me what life was about
Provided understanding of life
Taught me how to go my own way
Guided in finding my unique path
You gave me wings and taught me how
Granted freedom and taught to soar
To fly up in to the clouds
Enabled me to reach ambitious goals
Of my dreams; make them real someday
Pursuing dreams and making them reality
But of all the things you gave to me
List of gifts received
The one that means the most
The most valuable gift
Is you letting me just be me
Allowing me to be authentic
And I hope you know
Expressing gratitude to the person
You were there by my side
Supportive presence throughout the journey
Every mile of the ride
Accompanying in every experience
Through the shadows and through the light
Navigating both challenges and joys
And our hearts would beat in time
Unified hearts, synchronous beats
Always in rhythm and in rhyme
Harmony in life's rhythms and rhymes
And I knew that I'd be all right
Assurance of being okay
Cause you were there every mile of the ride
Reiteration of constant support
A mother's heart beats differently
A mother's love is distinct
Because it's sharing half the beats
Shared heartbeat, unique connection
No one knows the secrets it holds
Mystery within a mother's heart
I didn't know then, but now, I see
Realization of a mother's strength
Just how strong you have to be
Power in letting go
Especially when letting go
Challenges faced when releasing
But through the magic that we share
Connection transcending physical presence
You've been with me everywhere
Constant companionship through love
That's the bond of a mother's love
Exploration of the unique mother-child bond
And I can't say "thank you" enough
Gratitude for the enduring love
You were there by my side
Continued support during life's journey
Every mile of the ride
Companionship through challenges and joys
Through the shadows and through the light
Navigating through various experiences
And our hearts would beat in time
Unity in heartbeats, synchronous
Always in rhythm and in rhyme
Life's patterns in harmony and rhyme
And I knew that I'd be all right
Assurance of being alright
Cause you were there every mile of the ride
Repeated acknowledgment of presence
And now I'm grown and I'm on my own
Individual growth and independence
I'm glad we take the time
Gratitude for shared moments
And of all the mothers in the world
Expressing appreciation for the specific mother
I'm glad that you're mine
Thankfulness for the mother's role
You were there by my side
Continued presence in different life stages
Every mile of the ride
Accompanying through shadows and light
Through the shadows and through the light
Enduring through challenges and joys
And our hearts would beat in time
Heartbeats in sync, rhythmic
Always in rhythm and in rhyme
Life's melody in harmony and rhyme
And I knew that I'd be all right
Assurance of well-being
Cause you were there every mile of the ride
Reiteration of constant support
