She dried all of my tears whenever I cried

She hugged me close to her when I felt scared

She always knew when I lied

No matter what happened, she always cared

When I couldn't understand anything

When pure confusion was all I knew

When my entire world was spinning

I always knew I could turn to her

When things weren't what they were supposed to be

She tried to make everything alright

There was no time when she didn't love me

She has been my mentor, my love, my light

She washed away every speck of denial

She made life a little more worth while
