To My Mother

[slideshow id=27]

Life has a way of finding time to look back on the past,
And reminisce about the days we thought would always last.
When you would hug and comfort me, and smile your special smile,
 And always, when I needed help, you’d walk that extra mile.

Dear Mum, you loved and cared for me through all my childhood days,
Encouraged me when I was down, then lifted me with praise.
You always did believe in me, and always seemed so sure,
“As long as you just do your best, you can’t do any more”.

How quickly have the years flown past, now I am older too,
And when I look back through the years I’m thinking about you.
How kind and patient always through the days, the months, the years,
And how, with such a loving heart, you calmed my doubts and fears.

We also shared such happy times, much laughter I recall,
Whatever time we had to share, you gave to it your all.
I’m thankful that your love for me gave me that “special” start,
So when I say, “I love you Mum”, you know it’s from my heart.
