Now That I Am a Mum

A precious mum as you are Every single moment I now think I should have spared To tell you You do have all the credit For what you are For what you have done Sorry mum I know how it feels Now that I am a mum. An adored mum as you are Every single occasion I have missed To cherish you To give you all the tribute For all your sublime and genuine love I failed To show you the very value of who you are Sorry mum I know how it aches Now that I am a mum. A treasured giver as you are Devotion is one drop of your ocean A mighty creature Waging war against your very wants and passions A strenuous fighter Protecting your very pride Reigning as a queen in your monarchy Sorry mum I know how it bleeds Now that I am a mum A dearest mum as you are I have taken you for granted I failed to appreciate your very presence In the life of mine Time has made me cry and whine A pity for me A healing from my injuries hard to find I failed To say I love you I failed To say I thank you For all the flow of care and love Short was your lifetime I failed to seize the day with you on time Sorry mum I know how it feels Now that I am a mum.

Such a funny thing time is, it sure pass away way before the blink of an eye, and we can only value something when we face it ourselves, and it sure is a amazing thing, a girl who was once a small little daughter of her daughter, now that girl herself is a mother and has her own child, again it's time, and it never stops,
