Ian Black Poet Lyric

Mother of Mine

Oh mother mine, you're a friend to the end.
Seen you be a borrower a lender and a fixer of broken men.
You see your sons  you have grown, we are true of heart,
You see you've taught us so well to shine bright and find our way in the dark.

I've seen the privilege in your face change, as we’ve grown in time
I wish i could map out and relive those photo’s, retrace all those laughter lines.
I wish i could have half the strength your mind and body have shown.
You see all that I've seen is you love us tooth and bone.
You see all that I've seen is you love us tooth and bone

Oh mother of mine who’s love loves the most
Seen you be a worker, a warrior,a beacon and our lives signpost. 
Now the men you have raised are but yours and will never depart
You see you've shown us so well how to live and to love from the heart.
