This piece is dedicated to my mother, Melissa, to whom I owe my very life.
lyrics
You are more than just a princess in my eyes
You are the queen bee
The Goddess of the red roses
Something greater than a single word or phrase
Warmth and compassion are all I’ve ever known from you
The support of a thousand columns
A foundation greater than stone
Leadership and guidance and counsel for the ages
Wisdom beyond compare
My confidant, my conscience, my single greatest fan
Not one to be crossed
Able to stare down the greatest king
Mighty in a way that could never be explained
Gentle in a way that makes me oh so proud to say
That there is nobody else that I could ever hope to be
Than the very soul you hoped I’d be
You give me strength, you give me drive
You are the reason I am alive
Without you, there is no me
Without you, I could not see a way for me to always be the very best version of me
You’ve made me who I am
I hope I’ve made you proud
You are the princes, the queen, the goddess
You are my mother
The likes of which not even Zeus could ever dream
You are my mother
And I am so very, very proud to be your son
