It’s another Mother’s day.

It’s another Mother’s day

The second one without you here

Time cannot take all pain away

But it blunts the sharpness of the spear.

We’ll take a cup of kindness yet

We’ll climb a hill to see the view

We’ll raise a glass and never forget

All the things that made you, ‘you’.

Quiet courage, love, compassion, care

A love of hills, of surf, of sea

Of always, always ‘being there’

That’s what you always were to me.

So thankyou for those many years

For music, laughter, stories, song.

Yes it’s another Mother’s day

And we’ll shout about you all day long.
