Dedicated to all mothers
I remember as a little child,
When I would run so free and wild,
My Mother saying, amid her tears,
For me she had so many fears.
Well, here I am, still wild it’s true,
But a better person for a Mum like you!
I remembered the sacrifices made,
The dreams you put on hold,
For all you did, both day and night,
To teach me what was just and right.
Unreserved love for me reached out,
Giving tender care in times of doubt.
So, with these words I wish you Mum,
Happiness, peace and forever sun.
And here’s a hug, a kiss or two,
So little return for the gifts from you.
