Mother Mine

Mothers secret birthday party

Mother Mine

You’ll soon be 90 Mother mine

We said that you were looking fine

And hoped you’d always stay that way

But never gave the game away

For family both near and dear

Have traveled far to gather here

To celebrate in wine and song

The fact that you have lived so long

We worked together through the night

Making sure that all was right

Arranging flowers and hanging yards

Of bunting, balloons and birthday cards

And kept it carefully from your eyes

So it would be a big surprise

When we helped you down the stairs

You’d find a family who cares

We found it very hard to wait

Until the anniversary date

Make you think that we’d forgot

Then prove to you that we had not

So Mother was it really fair

When we had come from far and wide

And thought you just lay sleeping there

To find this morning you had died.

So sad. But also a tale of love and family that has love throughout. Good work Keith Charles !!!
