They say home is where the heart is.
And my only home is where you are.
The truest soul I’ve ever known-
My first home, and my cornerstone.
Your soul that loves so deeply,
Gives all so openly-
No need for praise, no loud display,
You give your heart away each day.
Through all the years you've given,
So selfless, strong, and true,
There’s nothing I could ever give
That matches what you do.
If my heart is glass, then yours is steel —
The strength that holds my every fragile feel.
But now I see your quiet cracks appear,
And all I want is to be your strength, your shield, your mirror clear.
When shadows fall, and I can’t stand tall,
You’re the first to hear my silent call.
In sickness, tears, or nights alone,
Your love still finds its way back home.
All I hope is to mirror your grace,
To carry your light in time and place.
To make you proud in all I do,
A softer soul made strong by you.
You're the prettiest woman I could ever see, the purest human one can ever be.
You're the smartest one could ever yearn to be, the best mother that one can dream.
You have the most angelic voice, the most beautiful laugh,
one that lights up the room and far beyond.
Today isn't the only day I wish to say this all.
I'll reflect my love for you forever,
I'll hold you when you don't feel so tough,
I'll kiss you with the warmest hearth, make you feel
the magic you give everyone, and me, returned.
