Daughter to Mother
You have given up all your life to be a mother,
Being a mother isn’t an easy task,
Yet you enjoy every second of it,
You were there for me since day one
To dry my tears, and plant a smile on my face
You know exactly what to say,
To help, guide and lead me
Through this life,
So I can become who I want to be,
You never put limits to my childish thoughts and dreams,
You were always there to encourage
You have given me comfort,
Guidance and reassurance throughout my years,
And I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay you,
For all that you have done and given me.
I’m sorry if I’ve given you a hard time,
It took me a while to appreciate what you do for me,
You are my role model and my salvation,
You have always been there when I needed you,
There are not enough words to thankyou for everything you
Have helped me with
I hope that I can always make you proud,

I love you mum and thankyou.
