Goodbye mum

You are the one who I call mum 

And I am your oldest son 

You gave me a sister and then a brother 

We are so glad that you're our mother  

You taught us things like wrong from right 

Protected us every day and night 

Mum I love you everyday

Those words sometimes I did not say

Those times when I was a little bad

You didn't cry or get mad

You just said that's my son

I hope you know I love you mum

And so a shadow has been cast

I feel the sorrow your free at last

Your shadow filling all our hearts

Thinking of when we were young

So thankful to have called you mum

Always there when we needed you

Now I don't know what to do

Teach my kids that it's ok

Try to get through just one more day
I wish the hands of time would stop

In my heart you found my special spot
