I love you Mom!

I just want to let you know,

You mean the world to me!

Only a heart as dear as yours,

Would give so unselfishly!

Thanks for thinking I’m funny,

Even though I’m really not,

And although I hardly say it,

I love you quite a lot.

Thanks for taking my places,

I couldn’t have gotten on my own,

And for always making our house,

Feel a lot like a home.

Thanks for always being there,

To make sure that I’m okay,

So I know that if I need you,

You are just a hug away.

Thanks for all the good times passed,

And the ones which are still to come,

For always being a person,

I’m proud to call my mum.

You can’t choose who your family is,

But if it was something I could do,

I know if I could go back now,

My choice would still be you.
