Mummy

Mummy
No one can tie my shoes
Just like you.
No one knows the right way
The way you do.
No one makes the pain go away
No one else but you.

Mummy I love you
I know you love me too
Because you taught me everything I need to know
And I just want to say this before you go..

No one else can get the big knots out of my hair
Or help me when I have no air
No one but you can tell me what I can be
No one but you can show me what I need to see
No one can help me the way you do
No one can love you the way I love you

You've made me become me
And when I was just three
You helped me count to ten
Over and over again
You gave me all my noisy toys
And hid me away from the yucky boys

Mummy I love you
I know you love me too
Because you taught me everything I need to know
And I just want to say this before you go..

When I grazed my knee you'd kiss it better
And the pain went away all together.
When I got stung by the bee's
You told that the spit would make it ease
You taught me how to swim
And taught me how to win

You taught me that 2 comes before 3
And that you would always love me
You helped me when I was scared of the storms
And told me not to wear jumpers when it was warm
Mummy you've loved me since the start
And I love you with all my heart

Mummy I love you
I know you love me too
Because you taught me everything I need to know
And I just want to say this before you go..

On my first day of school
You told me not to be a fool
You packed my lunch and tied my shoes
And got my dress the one that was blue
Blue like the sky you used to say
And to have fun and play

You saw me growing up and started to cry
And I never really knew why
I know now I can do this by myself
And no longer need your help
But I don't want you to be sad
I want you to be glad
Glad that I'm a big girl now
And accept that I am a little loud
And I will love you forever
And I wont let you go .. never

Mummy I love you
I know you love me too
Because you taught me everything I need to know
And I just want to say this before you go..

And when I had a bad dream
You told me it's not what it seems
That the bogeyman doesn't live under my bed
And its all in my head
You told me the dark is nothing to be afraid of
And you scared all the monsters off

And now I'm getting older
I'm getting stronger
I can handle things more easy
I don't get upset when my brother calls me stinky
You helped me on the swings when I couldn't reach
You helped me when I was little and couldn't speak

Mummy I love you
I know you love me too
Because you taught me everything I need to know
And I just want to say this before you go..

I no longer play in the old cubby house you told me was a garden shed
Just to keep it secret that it was for me instead
I no longer play with my Barbie dolls
And no longer do exactly what I'm told
But I still never clean my room
And always miss bits with the broom

I don't make sand cakes anymore
I make real ones like you have before
I remember when you used to take me to work
Cleaning the cars and getting your pays worth
With the gurney and the big bin
That you told us not to play in.

Mummy I love you
I know you love me too
Because you taught me everything I need to know
And I just want to say this before you go..

I remember when you told us we had to move
And we didn't even get to choose
I was really upset to leave the old town
I didn't want to go I wanted to turn around
I'm glad we moved up here
And we still get to go down there

I know I get angry and start to yell
And I know I have at least once made your life a living hell
And I'm sorry for all the things I did wrong
And when I hate your favorite song
They really aren't as bad as I make them out to be
But I know you still love me

Mummy I love you
I know you love me too
Because you taught me everything I need to know
And I just want to say this before you go..

You taught me right from wrong
And how to be strong
I never really knew
How much I love and care for you
And I know you're really busy
So there's not much time for you and me
To go out on big shopping sprees
Or go out to the movies

And I want to tell you on this day
This day.. You're birthday
I thank you for everything you've done for me
And taught me how to be me
And how to lookout for myself
When I'm not with anyone else

I love you mum
You helped me be what I've become
And I don't want you to be sad
I want you to be glad

I love you Mum
