A MOTHER'S MEDAL

Good Mums they are like gold dust

The jewel within the crown

They seem to have the midas touch

When your world is coming down

They are there when you first walk

Give a hug when you fall down

Encourage all your strengths

And smile at all your frowns

Such a pillar to be stood by

When your friends they come and go

Holds such pride within her heart

Gives you the warmth to help you grow

Mums are there when you most need them

A presence you can depend

To give a hug when you are troubled

And a hand they’ll always lend

Don’t know what I’d have done

Without my Mum down all those years

Shared some laughter and some heartache

And even shared some tears

But no matter how old I get

She's there for me the same

Helps me be a better Mum myself

Taught me how to play the game!

All Mums should have a medal

Put on the New Year’s Honours list

And for 40 years of heartfelt service

My Mum they wouldn’t miss! x
