To Mum!

Though everyone you meet has had a mother
That’s not a cause for them to beat the drum
But I’ve a boast that betters any other
My mother’s not a mother, she’s a Mum
When I was small she saw that I was started
Along the road to where I had to be
Despite me deeds my Mum stayed open hearted
For fifty years she’s been my certainty
If we were ill she nursed without complaining
She lead the cheers when we were on the field
She helped us pull whenever we were straining
My Mum’s the only prize I’ll never yield
Today’s your day, sit back and have a rest
With love to you, The Mum who’s still the best!
