My Mum
I remember Mummy on this Mother’s Day
Though it is quite long ago since she passed away.
It was her love of poetry that filled my soul with rhymes
And her resolution which brought us through hard times.
Her youngest hardly breathing, two other kids to rear
Her mum and husband very ill. She had much need to fear.
She just rolled her sleeves up and got on with her task
Though it must have seemed to her it was too much to ask!
Then my father died when I was only five
She resolved to bring her kids up as if he were alive!
We would not lack for anything though she had to slave
It’s my abiding memory of the love she gave.
So raise a glass to mothers, give them a special treat.
For their special love for us would be hard to beat!
