For you

Thank you for giving me your eyes
Your nose and smile
Your hands and cheeks
Your humour and laughter

I have all these qualities because of you

Thank you for giving me the gift to love and showing me what it is to love somebody
You showed me courage and faith, to always get through no matter what

It means so much when you say you are proud and you love me
Thank you for being a kind and nurturing person
When i was little you would hold me on your lap and i would fall asleep feeling safe
I would hold your hand whenever we went somewhere and you would always take me to the beach or the park
Even one day you played basketball with me and we would take the dog for a walk

These days I tell you everything and I am grateful to have you as my mum

I love you mum
