Mum

Hey Ma, please remember me, I hope you don't forget...
Through all my years of growing up, your still the best Mum yet...
But years are ticking by so fast, Your memory not the same...
I just don't want you ever to forget when we played games...
I look at you smile and say "hey Ma hows your day"?...
You look at me and so confused, the look of pure dismay...
I say "Hey Ma its me", you no the last of 6 you had...
The way you look and smile, I wish I didn't feel so sad...
You always knew just what to say and how to deal with things...
But now the distance in your eyes, my heart oh how it stings...
I wish there was a way to bring your mind back home to me...
But I no it wont happen, like the blind will never see...
Just because you do forget and things they slip your mind...
Dosnt mean they'll ever be a better Mum to find...
I dont care if, when time it comes that you just dont no me...
You'll never be more beautiful than the woman who I see...
I write these words to give me strength to no what lies ahead...
I think about it every night when I climb into bed...
I just want you to no this Mum, you may in time forget...
But I will always love you, my life on that I bet...
