Mum in a million


from the ABC set Poems 1

To my partner
A mother
Devoted protector
Guardian like no other

She gave me my dreams
Watching them grow
Seeing to their needs
Dispelling they’re lows

First day of school
Captured in picture
A tear...
A proud adventure

Now grown up
She still watches over
So much more
Than their taxi driver

There will come a day
To pass down the flame
And it will then be their turn
A new birth to proclaim

But a mother she will be
Forever to the day
Some things are never lost
Some things never go away
