Poem
Remember remember Mum when we were small. Holding hands as we learnt to walk, Teaching us how to talk. On the swing you'd push us high Till our feet could touch the sky. A magic rub when we had a pain, Kiss it better once again. Snuggling up on your lap, Poems and stories before a nap. Do you remember Mum? Remember remember Mum when we were small. Taking us to the pantomime, Sailing on the Serpentine, Museum visits and palace too, Madame Tussauds and the zoo. Candyfloss at the fair, Dirty knees and messy hair. Days out full of fun, Holidays in the sun. Do you remember Mum? Remember remember Mum our teenage years. Thinking that we knew it all When life for us was just a ball. Young love and first dates, Staying up way too late. School exams and learning to drive, You praying we'd stay alive. We probably caused you many tears When life was all about our peers. Do you remember Mum? Remember remember Mum when we left home. Bridal gowns on wedding day When Dad gave us both away. Two young women we'd become But never stopped needing help from our Mum. Grandchildren, pink and blue, As one by one your family grew. Granny time was time for treats, Spoiling them with too many sweets. Do you remember Mum? Remember remember Mum for it is true. We thank you for all that you still do. We hope you have a wonderful day, Celebrating your eightieth birthday, Enjoying this little afternoon tea, With special friends and your family. So raise a glass and give a cheer Because you've notched up another year, And we hope there's many more to come Because we really love you Mum. I wrote this to read at an afternoon tea party for my Mum yesterday from my sister and I. Unfortunately Mum is losing her memory, so I'm hoping this will help her to recall.
