Your courage is built up,
you\'re not on your way!
It\'s time to get started...
today\'s a new day!

I can\'t help but feel envy
at the strength that you show,
you\'re headed for great things.
I love ya, ya\' know?

You\'ve helped me through trouble
and told me what\'s right.
And now, it\'s my turn
to reassure you at night.

I\'ll help you through bad times,
and cheer you through good.
At the end, I will tell you
\'I knew that you could!\'

The road ahead is long,
and always uphill!
But I\'ll be beside you...
you know that I will.

And when you are trudging
through the rough of the storm,
I\'ll be trudging beside you
and keeping you warm.

As your daughter, I love you.
As your best friend, I care.
And through your long journey,
I\'ll always be there.
I wrote this for my mother when she started going to AA meetings in order to quit drinking. Her drinking almost destroyed our family, so I had to show her that I was supportive. She now has it framed and hung on the wall in our living-room.
