MUM FOR YOU

i never knew what words to choose today
to talk about my mother in my very own way
she always tried her best, maybe not always right
but if anyone tried to hurt her kids. she would put up
one hell of a fight.
and when i went through my heartbreaks, and boy
i have had some
she was there to pick up the pieces
thanks i love you mum
you were there to give your love from when
i was a kid
and you still are giving it now because you
always did
you were not only there to wash and feed me and
wash my dirty clothes
or run out to the playground and wipe
my snotty nose
these memories will always stay here in my heart
until the day i die
and now that you are ailing now its my turn
to try
to show the care you showed for me, before you
say goodbye
to wipe your brow and sit with you
i promise not to cry
and i promise mum i will be there to care
and do my part
thankyou so much for being mum,
i love you with all my heart
