If Not For You
In this life, when all was new
The world was against me, if not for you
Years as they passed, my troubles they grew
Would have I survived it, if not for you
We worked as a family, and time it flew
Through thick and the thin, we always had you
A voice full of reason, financially shrewd
We would have nothing, if not for you
With help and your guidance, my path became true
I wouldn't the courage, if not for you
We loved and we lost, as many must do
But through it all, we always had you
And now in the end, for what I must do
Could I have the strength, if not for you
I love you, Mom
Kevin
