My Mum
You carried me as a child
and held onto my hand.
You loved and treasured me every day
and taught me how to stand.
Of all the scary things in life
That I could ever fear,
Nothing is so frightening,
As you not being here.
But you taught me to be strong
And you taught me how to stand
Even when you aren’t here
To hold on to my hand
I am grateful for what you taught me
And I am grateful for your love
And I know that you will watch over me
From the heavens above.
