Oh,
the
road
has
been
long
But
your
light
was
my
guide
Everything
I
am,
Elizabeth,
it’
s
all
you
I
look
back
at
the
years,
the
weight
you
carried
on
your
own
Sacrificing
every
dream
just
so
I
could
find
a
home
You
worked
through
the
shadows,
you
fought
against
the
tide
With
a
quiet
strength,
mama,
you
kept
it
all
inside
Every
meal
you
skipped,
every
mile
you
walked
in
pain
Just
to
make
sure
that
I
wouldn't
struggle
in
the
rain
You
built
a
foundation
from
the
pieces
of
your
heart
You
taught
me
how
to
finish
what
you
helped
me
to
start
Oh
Elizabeth,
my
mother,
my
heart
and
my
soul
You’
re
the
one
who
kept
me
steady,
the
one
who
made
me
whole
Your
sacrifice
is
the
air
that
I
breathe
every
single
day
I’
m
standing
where
I
am
because
you
cleared
the
rocky
way
Please
don't
forsake
me
now,
keep
walking
by
my
side
I
love
you
more
than
words
can
say,
my
compass
and
my
guide
I
remember
the
cold
nights
when
you
held
me
through
the
fear
Whispering
the
promises
that
only
I
could
hear
You
saw
the
man
inside
before
I
ever
saw
myself
Putting
all
your
own
desires
back
upon
the
dusty
shelf
I
know
I
wasn't
easy,
I
know
I
made
mistakes
But
you
loved
me
through
the
mess
and
every
heart
that
breaks
Your
hands
are
worn
with
labor
but
they’
re
gentle
on
my
soul
You’
re
the
fire
in
the
winter
that
keeps
me
in
control
Oh
Elizabeth,
my
mother,
my
heart
and
my
soul
You’
re
the
one
who
kept
me
steady,
the
one
who
made
me
whole
Your
sacrifice
is
the
air
that
I
breathe
every
single
day
I’
m
standing
where
I
am
because
you
cleared
the
rocky
way
Please
don't
forsake
me
now,
keep
walking
by
my
side
I
love
you
more
than
words
can
say,
my
compass
and
my
guide
I’
m
reaching
for
the
summit,
but
the
view
is
yours
to
own
Everything
I’
ve
gathered
is
the
harvest
you
have
sown
Don't
turn
away,
mama,
don't
leave
me
in
the
dark
Your
love
is
the
foundation,
your
love
is
the
spark
Oh
Elizabeth,
my
mother,
my
heart
and
my
soul
You’
re
the
one
who
kept
me
steady,
the
one
who
made
me
whole
Your
sacrifice
is
the
air
that
I
breathe
every
single
day
I’
m
standing
where
I
am
because
you
cleared
the
rocky
way
Please
don't
forsake
me
now,
keep
walking
by
my
side
I
love
you
more
than
words
can
say,
my
compass
and
my
guide
I
love
you,
Mom
Thank
you
for
the
life
For
the
sacrifice
For
the
love
Elizabeth,
my
everything (
