Happy Mums Day!

The rule of thumb

Says you're my mum

You say you can't

Be a cry-sant(h)

That's right! You’re not

Grown in a pot

But sweet you smell

Pretty as well

Years have gone by

What's changed? Oh my!

Nothin’s the same

A whole different game

A little older

A little bolder

You’re much more wise

Much softer eyes

You like to kid

‘Bout what you did

You love to share

‘N you always care

We feel so blessed

You gave your best

To all your clan

Each one began

Their lives on track

You had a knack

A way of giving

A way of living

You’re an example

And you gave ample

Advice to us

Yes, we could trust

Your every word

We felt assured

That-if we complied

We’d all get by

 See what you’ve done?

There’s more than one

Here of your brood

That gives gratitude

For what you gave him

Our home’s a haven

Because of you

And a refuge too

A big thank you

From one who loves you:

A sprout that’s grown

In your very own home

Mum, you gave seeds

Pulled out the weeds

So we’d be strong

Taught right from wrong

Our time to grow

And then we’ll show

That good seeds bloom

Just give them room

You gave us space

To run the race

Now check the time

We crossed the (finish) line.
