Such a short word for such a huge role.
Words are not sufficient to convey
All the things I want to say
The love I feel that is just for you
A love that’s deep and pure and true.
I know of all your lessons learned
I know the things for which you yearned
Those dreams you put aside for me
So I could live a life that’s free.
My debt to you cannot be repaid
For the sacrifices you have made
Your courage has always made me humble
For you stood strong where many would crumble.
And in my deepest, darkest times
I feel your love - for me it shines
It gives me courage to be my best
And not to dwell on all the rest.
Your strength is born of heart and soul
You’ve guided me, nurtured me, made me whole.
Cos, Mum, through all life’s twists and bends
There’s a simple truth – we’re the best of friends.
Now, with a daughter of my own
I share with her the seeds we’ve sewn
And dare to hope that I might be
The Mum to her that you are to me.
Love you Mum xx
