Precious Memories With You, Mother
Looking back remembering just where it all began,
Tiny ears, tiny nose, tiny feet and hands,
Holding me close within your arms amazed at all you see,
Do you remember how it was when you gave life to me?
No doubt we had our cuddles, much more then one or two,
These memories so far away, precious memories with you.
Years go by so quickly, childhoods been and gone,
I sometimes sit remembering my life when I was young,
The stories that you told me, the costumes that you made,
Tucking me tightly into bed while kisses were exchanged,
Making cakes for birthdays, especially for me,
Hours in the kitchen preparing for our tea,
A few things I remember, not quite sure how I do,
But all the same there memories, precious memories with you.
I’m now myself a mother, just like you are to me
I try my best in every way but their too young to see,
Just like I was back then, not seeing how you tried,
But I know now you done your best in all that you applied,
And even through our fallouts, in times we don’t agree,
I know I’ll be ok cos you’ll be standing next to me,
So know I‘ll love you always, i'm proud of all you do,
And grateful for my memories, precious memories with you.
