How, I Never Said

I told you I love you, but never how much,
I said sorry, but never how deep,
And also thank you, but perhaps not how sincere.

You knew you were thought of, but not how often,
You knew you were needed, but not how you were wanted.
Always funny, but never told how much,

Of course, I never told you how much I loved being your son,
I told you to fight but not how dearly I wished you to stay,
Nor how comforting it would be to hug you again.

All of these words are reservedly for you,
Fragments of my heart, Fy nghalon wedi torri,
Never have any words been more true
How is from me with wholehearted love to you.

God bless you Mam
