Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition

She fills my days with rainbow lights,
Fairy-tales and sweet dream nights.
A kiss to wipe away my tears,
Great big hugs to ease my fears.
She gave the gift of life to me,
And then in love, she set me free.
I thank her for her tender care,
For deep warm hugs and being there.
