I Love You Mum

I love you Mum,
I don’t always say those words aloud,
But I am always thinking them inside my heart…

There have been many times when
I have missed the chance to tell you
That I’m proud of you and all
You stand for.

I respect your discipline, your
Decisions, and the way you stand,
By your words.

I admire everything about your way
Of life, even though you may have
Wondered many times if I was even
Listening when you spoke to me.

You may have felt as if you words
Were falling on closed ears, but
I’ve always heard you.

And many times those messages of
Yours have helped me, guided me,
And kept me safely going on.

“Thanks Mum”…
That’s another phase I haven’t offered
You as often as I should have.

If I did, I’d be saying those two
Words continually for everything
You do for me.

But today, I’ll just say
“I love you, Mum…
You’re always in my heart.”
