U left that new years day
So far away
Without a word or
Even a thought
For me

We never were good friends
Not until ur 1st grandchild
Came into this world
A boy
U claimed him there n then
As your own

I remember so clearly
Your panic that day
As if you never had
Babies of your own.... hehe

I remember so clearly
That happy face
Glowing with all the love
In the world
Showered over this newborn

Mother,
I'm wiser n older now
I understand life n its ways
I understand too the reason why
U loved me the way u did
It was the way of the "old school"
From which u came

I THANK U! MUM
For I am proud of the
WOMAN I have become, the
WOMAN I am!

Thank you mum!
R.I.P.

beautiful piece...
..and some of us take for granted the life of our mothers to date.....
