This Sunday we celebrate Mother's Day
here is a tribute to
MY MUM:
You were a mum in a million,
One with a heart of gold.
Your first priority was you family,
Your memory will never grow old.
Although your life was very tough,
You taught me right from wrong.
You set me a good example,
Your love made me strong.
I thank you for so many things
You sacrificed for me.
Yes, life was very hard for you,
Dad died when I was three.
Throughout my life you were always there
When I needed you.
Many years ago the roles were reversed
As I spent your last day with you.
As I sat and held your hand,
As you passed from one life to another.
With tears in my eyes, I said my goodbyes,
To a lady I was proud to call Mother.

Lovely poem and tribute. Happy Mother's Day weekend to you too. Stay positive and think of happy memories. I know that's hard, but your mum sounds like she was tough and would want you to walk chin up. Take care
