Mother - An Expression of Gratitude

by George
(nottingham UK)

Mother

Time has passed and I have grown
The world is different but you remain the same
From early days and lazy days until childhood melted away
You’re my mother my shelter from life's storm
How easily we forget the things we put you through
and how growing up takes ages observed with a smile
And we strive to become what you are and have been
And we hope to find in ourselves
That spark ignited by you throughout the years
You’re my mother pearls of wisdom delivered with a smile
Comforting words when the wind blows cold
and when we lose our way, this is for you
In gratitude for my childhood and a lifetime of memories
and the smile I have bequeathed to my children
