Dear Mother

Dear mother Why do you bother, So much about us? Why do you fuss? I know I'm going somewhere I know you're worried how I'll do there But I assure you I'm coming back home You're not getting rid of me that easily mom You've taught me so much in so many years You've watched me grow and led me through my fears But always remember I'm ever so grateful Ever so grateful for a mother so wonderful So as I stand here all packed and ready to go You cry as if there's no tomorrow You keep my hand in a strong hold You tell me to always be bold Don't mother, don't cry I promise you this isn't goodbye I'm coming back I'll come back with my back-pack on my back So lovely mother, Don't bother Smile for me, just a bit For I'll be back before you know it.
