Nine years ago today

Nine years ago today
The world lost one it’s finest

One of the most beautiful
One of the kindest

I remember your colourful dresses
Your warm smile
Your infectious laugh

Taken too soon
But never forgotten

You’ll always live on forever
In our hearts and our minds

Although you never met
Our girls will know you well

l’ll tell them of all the fun
Of the happiness
That my childhood brought

All because of you

Holidays were memorable
Especially if near a water slide

We’d hear you laugh
And slip and slide

Down you’d come
Flashing the world!

Right to the end
You were strong
Brave and beautiful

Fuck cancer

You stole her life
She was only 50

Her children only 18

She wasn’t at my wedding
Or there to see her grandchildren born

But they will know of her

We’ll tell them stories
Show them photos
And talk about our wonderful mum

She was taken too soon

Rest in peace Mum
