My own dear Mum

by Trixie Asirvatham

This poem was written for my mother, Dr. Kitty David, who is such a powerful influence in my life. She has always encouraged us, her three children, to appreciate the little things that make life special. She points out a mountain sunset, exclaims with delight at a green field, and enjoys the beauty of flowers growing wild. She has a special way with people which makes them confide in her their deepest worries and fears. She cheers them up with letters, cards and visits. Her positive attitude and faith in God makes her a powerful shoulder to lean on.She's someone special - she's my own dear Mum!

You're everybody's mummy
And everybody's aunt
And everybody's granny
And everybody's friend;
You're everybody's someone
And you're my own dear Mum!

It doesn't take much to please you
Just little things will do…
A bunch of flowers, a sunset,
A carpet of green drenched with dew…
You always wear a sunny smile
That spreads good cheer across the miles.

So on your birthday, Mummy dear
I want to say to you
You're someone very special
There's no-one quite like you.
You maybe everyone's someone,
But you're MY OWN DEAR MUM!

Crossroads Relax - let go It's time to change A different point of view Stuck in the middle	A whole lot of nothin' to do Waiting When will it be? Undo - to do! It will come right in the end
