To My Mum From Trish

Love is never perfect
people try their best
I remember Mum 
with all her faults 
written on her chest
she forever dressed me
in colours I detest 
she loved to see her darling
dressed in clothes of pink
at times she would chastise me
for things I had not done
like tied up to the clothes line
I did not think was fun
Mothers are not perfect 
yet try their best for you
she was ever helping
the people that she knew
