For my beautiful mum

mum
You gave your love so freely, nothing asked for in return.
You helped your friends and neighbours, you were there at every turn.
You loved your family dearly, of that we had no doubt.
Any hurdle we encountered, you were there to help us out.

As time moved on, we saw a change, a little slower did you walk.
But still you were there for us, time to listen, time to talk.
Still buying little presents, still showing that you care.
Still finding ways to let us know that you were always there.

How little did we realise, how fortunate we were.
To appreciate the time you gave, the loving and the care.
As fate decided things would change, god has taken you away,
and although we are so saddened, theres just one thing to say.

How lucky we were to have shared your kindness through the years
and with our love and memories, it will help us dry the tears.
For though it may be said how much you will be missed,
our hearts are full will all the love and memories you have kissed.

love you mum xx
