In every laugh
And all tender hug,
In every meal we shared,
Your love wrapped around me snug,
Showing how much you cared.
The days we talked
the nights we wept,
Your wisdom like a guiding light,
In my heart
those memories kept,
Through every day and every night.
Now as time pulls us apart,
And life’s journey takes its course,
Know you’re forever in my heart,
A love that’s strong
a steady force.
Though distance separates us now,
And words may not suffice,
In every thought
in every vow,
Your love will be my paradise.
So though I’ll miss you, Mum, it’s true,
Your spirit carries on,
In everything I say and do,
In every dawn until the dawn.
Until we meet again one day,
In memories,
I’ll find,
Your love will always light the way,
Forever,
you’re entwined.
