Thank You - Jeff MacDougall

I want to thank you
for not letting go of this
for not getting yourself missed
I want to thank you
for not leaving us alone
and emptying our home
of love

'cause that's who you are
a wife and a mom
you get the bronze star
so grab the Nikon
and give us a smile
a smile that says...

I want to thank you
for saving yourself first
I've seen you at your worst

I want to thank you
for getting black and blue
for all the things you do

so make no mistake
when life dropped a bomb
in spite of the risks
you fought like your mom
and now I can smile a smile that says...

Thank you for self sacrifice
for victory at any price
for boys and creepy crawly things
for gifts found waiting over seas
mostly I just want to say
that I can see your face today
and that means more to me
than you can know.

'cause that's who you are
a wife and a mom
you get the bronze star
so grab the Nikon
and give us a smile
a smile that says... (less info)
