Mummy's Leaving

You leave with your worries and your pains

Tension abounds as you board the plane

You leave with your thoughts I cannot define

But one thing I know you leave your heart behind

You take your share of

The drives and fun times we had

The walks along Lake District

Picnics at The Plassey, Chirk Castle and London Eye

The misty hills, and the Horse Shoe pass

The aroma of tea in Ponderosa Café

I cherish those moments mum

As I cherish your words of wisdom

And the sound of your laughter

With your grand children as they played

It will be no more for some time to come

I will miss all that and the way I laid in your lap

Relaxed and peaceful, just been born

And all I want mum is for you to board the plane

With a lighter mind, because your heart

You leave behind

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My mum came to stay with us for a couple of months.We made the most of her time with us and went for a lot of fun. now she is going back for what i hope some time and as i sat in my office and remniscenced i was overwhelmed and jotted these few line. I love my mother very much and this is nothing compared to what she is and her love for me and my children.
