This is a poem I wrote for my mum for mothers day a few years ago.
she cried, but we all know what mums are like dont we? but we cant live without them can we.

You're the person, who began my life,
You brought me to this earth
So it's you I thank with all my heart,
And every little piece of my worth,
You loved me from the beginning,
You helped me hold a fork,
You taught me many things in life,
You helped me walk and talk,
But most of all you taught me,
To hold you in my heart,
To love you as my mother,
Include you in every part,
You are the best thing in my life,
I cherish you so true ,
But most of all I thank the lord,
The mother he sent was you,
I'll love you always,
You'll be in my heart forever,
The thoughts and memories stay so clear,
Of my mother so dear and clever,
Twenty years I've known you,
Another fifty or so to go,
I'll keep a place in my heart for you,
Is all I want you to know,
So mother of love,
It's there you'll stay,
Within my heart,
In my own loving way.
