A short time ago you showed me your love
A love that was a Godsend from above

A short time ago you showed me your heart
A heart that beats in the midst of all that is good

A short time ago you showed me your compassion
A compassion that is felt within the depths of my soul

A short time ago you showed me your strength
A strength that an ocean could not engulf

A short time ago you showed me your honor
An honor that could never be betrayed

A short time ago you showed me your truth
A truth that lies could not conquer

A short time ago you showed me your life
A life that begins with Love

A short time ago you showed me your wisdom
A understanding of life

A short time was all that was needed
To cherish these gifts that is
So deeply seeded within my heart

I love you Mum
