Mum



Nothing like a mother
No-one can compare
No-one is as strong as you
The one that's always there

Your compassion has no limit
Your love it has no end
You make a house a home
Your my mother and my friend

Every mothers special
But you are quite unique
And not because your 50
With a 30yr Physique

It's because you always know
Whenever we are down
That all we need is your love
To take away our frown

I love you as my mum
And I love you as a friend
So call me mum and I'll be right there
On me you can depend.
