This was the first song I ever wrote after I got into recovery. Since I usually had a difficult time communicating with my mother face to face, my sponsor suggested that I try to put my feelings into a song and give it to her as a gift for mother's day.  Though it was for the purpose of mending fences, it proved to be the first of many songs written to  help heal the multitude of conflicting emotions I had about  our relationship.

No we don't see eye to eye very often
But we always see heart to heart this I know
Cuz when I look back and see
What you truly mean to me
  Love pours in my heart.

A long, long time ago you bore a child that was me
you raised me up I went on my way and now it's time to say
that through it all there was joy and pain and sunshine mixed with rain
but deep within my heart I know you did your best to help me grow.....

And though we don't see eye to eye very often
We always see heart to heart this I know
Cuz when I look back and see
What you truly mean to me
  Love pours in my heart.

     As time goes by I realize
     How much we are the same
     And though we don't agree at times
     Our love is not in vain...

No we don't see eye to eye very often
But we always see heart to heart this I know
Cuz when I look back and see
What you truly mean to me
  Love pours in my heart....
Yes when I look back and see
What you truly mean to me
  Love pours in my heart.
