The key

peto

Her smile it comes when life is strange

Aware of every subtle change

A BULLSEYE hit on every range

My ever watchful mum

A builder of the strongest walls

The fixer of my daily falls

Goes of to decorate church halls

The legend I call mum

She had her helpers this i know

Directing the entire show

I got to reap each seed she'd sow

My ever watchful mum

I never will forget the day

An April shower washed away

The needle from the stack of hay

My legendary mum

Still every now and then I see

A sign she's never leaving me

She gave me life and holds the key

My one and only mum
