Best Mum
----------------------

hard life is not
easy it can be
you have shown this
shown this to me

by your example
i have grown
past the point
that i have shown

i hope you know
want you to see
that i am me
and will always be

you are my mother
i am your child
youv raised me through
this life so wild

my life you shaped
quite very well
i thank you for making
my life so swell

i will always love you
i want you to know
even if it sometimes
doesnt quite show

this christmas i want
for you to know
just quite how much
i love you so!
