A MOTHER LIKE YOU

As I can’t talk yet I can’t tell you myself

but until that day comes I’ve got Nanny to help

I want people to know all the things that you do

and how glad that I am for a Mother like you

When I was born you calmly accepted

things were not going to be quite as expected

the doctors they said there would be things I won’t do

but they did not account for a Mother like you

They could not dismiss you,  try as they might,

you stood your ground fast and fought for my rights.

Those doctors in white and those nurses in blue

now have every respect for a Mother like you.

Some days you look tired it shows in your eyes.

I can be demanding, I just don’t realise

that Mummies and Daddies need their rest too,

but you never complain, not a Mother like you.

I know that I still have a long way to go

but I know with your help those doctors I’ll show

that there is still a lot yet that I can do,

because I have the help of a Mother like you.

So with Nanny’s words I just want to say,

I wish you the very best Mothers Day.

Daddy, don’t feel left out, I love you loads too

but for today Mummy these words are for you

With all my love
