Mother's Day

Somehow it seems more poignant Its not just because you are poorly But the person you have come to be Suddenly life's nature Though cruel and so sudden Has brought you closer to me For years we were drifting One closing a door The other trying to get through And yet here today You are the Mum I always wanted Because of the illness bestowed on you I wish it could of been different I wish this being within you now Wouldn't take you to see That Mum, You were always there But now you shine for me I can cuddle you Place a kiss on your forehead And know its what you long to feel Than all those years Long now since and forgotten When nothing seemed real I knew inside you You loved us But there was a battle going on But now illness has taken over That battle that kept you from us Seems long gone I look at you And see my beautiful Mum Feel that you are free At last to look beyond something else Your love is like the day I was born Again, my Mummy loves me....
