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
