You may have thought I did not see,
Or that I had not heard,
Things that you taught to me,
But I remember every single word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we would grow apart,
But Mum, I picked up everything,
It is written on my heart.
Without you, Mum, I would not be
The Don I am today
You built a strong foundation
That will stay there always.
Life is so tough
that without you, I would be stumbling
I've never thought about it
that you would be so loving
I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did
So here's to you, dear Mum
From your forever grateful kid.
