Happy Birthday Mum

It's been a short while but I've written a few poems. This one's a bit rough around the rhythm edges but if it was good enough for mum it'll have to be good enough for everyone else!


Mum you are amazing 
And it's easy to see 
I was really blessed 
That God gave you to me 

We were not ever rich
And sometimes life was sad
But I am still thankful 
For all the times we had

I smile when I think of
Story books at night
And the door ajar
To see the hallway light

The picnics in the park
And daily walks to school
The special birthday treats
And playing at the pool

I'd watch you do makeup
And loved when you let me
Pretend to paint your face
As I sat on your knee

Now I have a baby
I'm even more aware
How hard it must have been
When sad to show you cared

I hope this poems not
A Helen Steiner Rice*
I just wanted to say
I think you're rather nice :)


*no disrespect to Helen may she rest in peace.
