My Mum
I remember you would hold my hand so I could walk, you taught me to be good, the alphabet and walk,
You gave me courage and held me when I cried, you taught me right from wrong and you always knew when I lied!
Sometimes we argued, both being stubborn and then fight, but when ever I was down you showed me the light. We played in the garden, water fights in the sun, you coloured and made things ....always having fun.
At times you made mistakes and things went wrong. But you showed me how to stand tall and to always be strong. You often had no help, and there is no book. But I knew that you loved me when you gave me a look.
You could call my name! And I knew I had been bad! But you still loved me when I was naughty! Even more when I was sad. You was there when I started my first day at school, you taught me how to eat and how not to drool.
You wiped my bum and cleaned up my sick.... you encouraged me when I cried, because I thought I was thick. I Remember making bases using all your chairs... I recall the many times I fell down the stairs.
In the later years we didn’t see eye to eye, but you always told me I could do it, and I learnt how to fly. Sometimes we don’t see each other and time has past. But a Mother and daughters love is built to last.
I recall the magic christmases and the effort you made. The memory of the magic, it will never fade. I remember the dinners and the Christmas tree. I remember the ghost stories you told.... scaring the s**t out of me.
You used to think it was funny hiding in the dark. You made me jump when telling people about that dog that would bark.
You always made sure we were dressed and fed. When I got stuck in the loft you let me sit on your head!
You watched me play barbies dancing in the bath, we often told stories and you made me laugh.
Me and louise in your conservatory we would camp, you chased me and Laura around....pretending to be a vamp.
Now I am a Women, and have my own son, I just hope that I can show him the same fun. I hope that I learn from you, you are my mother and friend, my love to you I will always send. We are sparrows when we are broken, but we are Eagles 🦅 when we fly.
