You're my hero.
How could you not be?
You're brave, nice, and smart.
And so much more.

You're my hero.
You brought me into this world.
And saved my life - keeping me in it.
And I'll never forget that.

You're my hero.
You were a single mom raising two kids for the longest time.
And I look up to you.
You're strong.

You're my hero.
You stand up for yourself.
And I get my emotional side from you.

You're my hero.
And I love you.

The author's comments:
I wrote this as a freshman in high school. My mom inspired me to write this piece because she has been through a lot in her lifetime. Also, shortly before I wrote this, we had been in a bad car accident and she was the reason that we all lived through it.
