*** Mum ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

Dear Mum, I love you, this is true
not just for the things you do
though given free and they be many
they only add to my love a plenty
if all you did was sit, stare, and just be
I'd still love you, you'd still be Mum, to me

*** Mum ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

dear Mum, I love you, always have, do, and will
the thought of ever being without you sends me a chill
you have been there for me from birth till this day
and should you one day pass away, with me you will stay
along life's pathway, being with you I have cherished
out of all the women in the world, you are my dearest
never far from me, your presence I can forever feel
my love for you has no limit, on that I pledge my seal
being 82, it would be safe to say you are getting on
so stay fit and healthy, eating well to keep you strong
then there will be no chill from the thought of losing you
for I will always love you Mum, that's a love that is true
