Homework

Post by Bob Pacey » Fri Apr 29, 2016 8:49 pm

My Mum

When the winds are blowing softly
and a sweet scent fills the air.
When the moons rays bathe the landscape
I’ll know that you are there.

When the birds are singing sweetly
as the tears I try to hide.
When I gaze upon my children
I’ll know you are by my side.

Your sweet life was spent so early
far to early to be fair.
I still feel your sweet caresses
as I sat and brushed your hair.

When I need to know the reason
why such things are meant to be.
I simply gaze upon your picture
and hope I’ve made you proud of me.

There are many photos in the albums
of those days of long ago.
Grandchildren shuffle through the pages
but how are they to know.

A mothers love, it lasts forever
and to lose you left me numb.
But in my heart you’ll stay forever
I will always love you Mum.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

:(
the door is always open, the kettles always on, my shoulders here to cry on, i'll not judge who's right or wrong.
