When Winter Wallows

if mothers were flowers

when i was a little girl
i went to school with pocket money
my daddy gave to me to buy
my mumma a mothers day present
it was a mini easel piece
decorated in flowers that read
"if mothers were flowers, i'd pick you"
and its funny because if i had been given the choice
i would have picked any other flower;
or maybe no matter how big the garden
i would of still picked you
because i wouldn't be the woman i am today
without the things you put me through
