My Mum

What is a mum?

A friend who only wants the best for you
Someone to share your deepest lows and your greatest joy’s
Who will wipe away your tear’s through their own
Who does not want you to suffer one ounce of hurt
And says it will be alright when you cant see how

Who stands by you especially when you fail 
Who tells you, you done your best
Even when you don’t think so.

Someone who has seen you learn everything 
And has probably taught you most of it

Is proud of every achievement however small
Listens to your endless dreams and smiles
Realising she has shaped who you have become

Will defend you against all the odds with unwavering loyalty 
and would lay down her life to save yours without a second thought

That is a mum ….. This is my mum
