My Mom

Great Mother

As I look upon my children,

I wish that I will be,

As great a mother to my children

as my mother was to me

She always knows what to say,

and what I need to hear

She always told me how it was,

so simple and so clear.

As mother and daughters do,

we'd argue and we'd fight

But though the tears and drama

I love her with all my might.

She looked the same every day

I remember from when I'm young

A few lines and wrinkles there,

but still my beautiful mum.

She's always been so wise,

she's always been so strong

She's always been so stubborn

and occasionally she's wrong

My mum is sure not perfect,

as I sure I am not much too

But mum's know you inside out

and advised you as you grew.

Now days have come and time has passed

where mum is growing weak

And we don't know the words to help

and the right words to speak

For losing mum's there is no book

or instructions what to say

I hope I say the words right

to help her on her way.

For I love you mum, you are my world

I thank you with all my heart

I don't know why you have to go

and why we have to part

But know you're loved and cherished

and we're all here for you

And know you're going to a place

where people love you too
