Analysis of For



For the first breath that you gave me.
For all the things you tought me.
For every time you protected me.
For the strenght and courage that you showed me.

For being more than just a mother.
For being my friend every day.
For you're the one I can rely on.
For guiding me to the right way.

For trying to forgive my faults.
For doing your best to ease my pain.
For crying and laughing with me.
For keeping me always safe and sane.

For the person you made of me.
For everything you've done and still do.
For never leaving me alone.
I thank you mom and I love you.
