Oh,
Mummy dear, if you were here
I'd
hold your hand and then embrace
I'd
stroke your hair and touch your face
I'd
love you more than ever
If
I could have just one more chance
To
see the love in your deep blue eyes
Once
more to feel your soft warm face
Your
sweetest smile your deepest care
Remember
the cosy chats we had?
About
your life, your mum and dad
The
strife of life a family so large
Nine
in total and all survived.
No
mean feat in those old days
To
feed and clothe so many
Yet
gran and grandad nurtured all
Till
grandad passed away.
I
recall the stories, tales and all
Of
memories gone by
Of
aunties sewing dreamy dresses
To
wear that night at the ball
I
learned my sewing skills from you
And
your sisters who were many
How
do I make this, how do I make that
I
enquired as my dolls didn't have any!
It
doesn't seem so long ago
But
10 years have gone since you left
You
departed this world peacefully
And
we were left bereft
So
when I think of you Mummy dear
I
think of all the good things
Your
love, your life your softest face
With
me and cherished forever
