It's Mother's Day

It’s Mother’s Day

                                                                                           

When we were young she kept us alive

Feeding heart, mind and body, helping us thrive

Now we are older and live our own lives

But to her part of us will always be five.

"Don’t buy me a present for Mother’s Day"

"Don’t waste your money" you’ll hear her say

"I’ll be happy enough with a visit or call"

"I’d be happy enough with nothing at all"

So here is a poem that cost not a thing

But carries a fortune in feeling and thought

Here is a greeting from your son which conveys

Much Love and happiness dear Mum on this day
