MUM
When I was little you nurtured me,
When I was cold you warmed me.
And when I was ill you cared for me;
I don't think I ever thanked you.
When I was sad you cheered me up,
When I was unsure you coaxed me.
And when I was angry you calmed me down;
I don't think I ever thanked you.
When I was older you stood by me,
When I was down you helped me.
And when I was despondent you gave me hope;
I don't think I ever thanked you.
When you are older, I'll care for you,
When you are scared, I'll coax you.
And when you are happy then so will I be but,
I don't think I ever can match you.
So for what it's worth, I'm here today
To honour you with this poem.
I'd like to say, with all my heart,
"I love you Mum", and
THANK YOU! Â
