Mothers Day Tribute

October the 8th we said our goodbyes .
Im Still left sat here wondering why.
But today I'll come up to your tree.
And think of all the good memories.
How you kissed it better when I got hurt.
How u juggled bringing me up with work.
Holidays to Butlins or Scarborough 10 times
They were some on the best memories of mine.
The selfless sacrifices you always made.
To keep me safe with a smile on my face.
I never gave you the credit you were due.
I hope u know how much I love you.
I sat at your side n gave your head a kiss.
I cried a little but I made you a promise.
That I'd be strong an that I'd  do you proud.
I stumbled at first but I'm doing it now.
I wish I could see you for just a few hours.
For some advice or draw some of your power.
I had 39 mothers days with you by my side.
You'd open my naff presents an smile with pride.
Wee 50p ornaments that still sit in place. 
Or daffodils I procured from some place.
This one is the toughest cause I just want to say.
I love you mum an one more happy Mothers day
