Mother: The Angel At My Side | Thank You Mum Poem
Mothers are special,
Almost magical, in truth.
They simultaneously give you wings
And firm, yet flexible roots.
She’s the very first person
To know you outside and in,
Holding your heart as a souvenir
Of the time you shared a skin.
Her nature pours into you
And her nurture spurs you on
So it’s never hard to see
Where your character comes from.
And inside her eyes, a sparkle,
Of the life she has lived,
All the lessons she’s learned
And the love she has to give.
She gives without condition.
She loves with all her heart.
You’re always on her mind
Even when you are apart.
A mother has no rival.
The bond is truly unique.
She knows what you are thinking
Even when you do not speak.
A mother can be relied on
Her whole life through
To always keep believing
And to never give up on you.
It is such a precious gift
Having someone at your shoulder
To nurse you as an infant
And to be a friend as you get older.
There is no-one like a mother,
Nor could there ever be,
Who balances keeping you safe
Whilst also setting you free.
No-one will love you more
While your life has her in it.
She’s wonderful and wise
With an effervescent spirit
For showing me the way,
As an example, and a guide,
Thank you Mum, for everything;
The angel at my side.
