Happy Birthday, Mummy 🤗

24 and on the road,

My life has been hectic 

As people come and go

 

New memories are cherished

Some old friendships have perished

Tucked into my bed

I reflect on my life….

 

But no matter the hardship 

No matter the joy,

I always know there is someone

Who makes time for this boy.

 

One call away

And she listens to what I say,

Might not agree on everything 

But that's okay.

 

I love her to bits

Though I’m not the best at expressing it

I love you Mummy.

Thank you for loving me.

 

Happy Birthday
