Mad Music Monday on Tuesday

The song that I would like to speak about today is one that we all know...it is an all time favorite for many...and many automatically think of the movie Beaches when they hear this song..."Wing Beneath My Wings".
I have loved this song ever since it became a hit. I just love Bette Midler.
This song has a strong significance to me because it makes me think of my mother each time I hear it. I was given the honor of being able to spend a big majority of Mother's Day in the presence of my mother...of whom I so dearly love. My mother is a pretty amazing lady that I take a lot of pride in talking about. She has always loved me along with my three siblings unconditionally. She has given, given, given, and never expected to receive anything in return. She (along with my dad) raised 4 children to be honorable and respectful and to know right from wrong. Granted, we all make mistakes and we have to learn on our own..for the most part, we have taken all that we learned and put it in to play.
My mother gave up going to school and pursueing her very own career until all four of us were in school. As soon as my little brother started to school she enrolled into college to pursue a degree in education. Today, my mother holds 3 different degrees that she worked extrememly hard for. She has her Specialist Degree in Education. My mother is a very smart lady and a hard worker at that. She is just an amazing person all around.
Anyway, I would like to dedicate this song to my mom because she is a hero in my life. I look up to her and I am proud to call her mom.

Wind Beneath My Wings
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
