Ode to Mum
Dec 6, 2021
Oh Mum, thank you,
For not losing you cool,
When telling me, again, to tidy my room,
Mum you’re the best,
But, somehow, I still can’t tidy my mess.
Oh Mum, I appreciate,
The way you kiss every scrape,
Even after telling me, calm down, don’t go ape,
Mum, you always, ever,
Make me feel a lot better.
Oh Mum, I will always try,
To be the apple of your eye,
Sometimes I’ll fall short, but don’t sigh.
It won’t be for lack of effort,
So much as thought.
