To you mum on Mother’s Day Mum I was going to buy you a card from the shop but something inside made me stop I did look at some and they made me feel sad but what was I thinking? I must be going mad! you always liked it best when I made you one myself and didn’t just grab one from the shelf. so I sat down and wrote this poem for you with tears in my eyes and feeling blue feeling sorry for myself because you aren’t here instead of thinking of the memories to fill me with cheer but its hard every day without having you mum no wonder I’m sad and feeling glum me and my dad we do get on fine we do talk to each other and I even drink wine! but I miss you so much mum and it just isn’t fair sometimes I feel so empty, so bare you’ve given me lots, your strength being 1 and I’ve started to enjoy your idea of fun you’d be proud of me I’m going out, making friends I enjoy a wee drink of beer at weekends I know that you’ll smile at that, I know what you’d say so wherever you are this mother’s day I hope you are near me or watching from above I think of you always and send you my love.
