"The Glow"

Yesterday, my mom turned 50. 5-0! Unfortunately, instead of a beautiful day on which she could ride around in her convertible with the top down, she got snow and 30-degree temps. But we did the real celebrating last Saturday at the Alamo, where all of my mom's family and friends gathered to eat, drink, and be merry :)
I performed a few songs at the party, and then at the end, I surprised my mom with a special song I had written just for the occasion. It's called "The Glow".



There’s a light, it’s shining bright.
No matter how dark the night should get
It makes everything alright.
And I feel it every day.
I don’t think you need another clue,
That light is you.

Oooh, I want to celebrate you,
And tell you just how great you are.
Why you’re a star.
Ooh, I want to celebrate you,
‘Cause I appreciate you, oh.
I hope you already know,
So just bask in the glow.

Ask anyone, they’ll say the same.
They feel the warmth at just the mention of your name.
Look around, at every face.
Each one reflecting your loving light
And your never-ending grace.

Three hundred sixty-five,
Of every year I’ve been alive,
You’ve been my tireless tower of strength.
You held my hand along the way,
You made me who I am today,
For me you went to every length.

You are loved, beyond compare.
And I’m happy just to know
That when I need you you’re right there.
So make a wish, and blow the candles out,
But your light will always shine beyond
A shadow of a doubt.
