deep within lies a place for my mother
a place where she is no longer a victim
alzheimers cant find her anymore
within my heart is a cozy little room
she is whole...she is young...she is happy
there she resides in peaceful bliss
no more pain...no more fears to worry her
within my heart is a cozy little room
yes i have enshrined my human mother
accepted her human ways...she tried her best
gave her a place of honor for all she wanted to be
within my heart is a cozy little room
she was not perfect...she knew this to be true
but she gave it a shot...her very best she knew
and for that i honor her for i inherited her ways
within my heart is a cozy little room
she was my mother and i love her still
felt her regrets at her mistakes
felt her pride when she knew she did well
within my heart is a cozy little room
she didnt know the legacy she left me
but i am proud to be her daughter
knowing she was only human doing her best
within my heart is a cozy little room
