The first year
The first year
The shops are full of flowers,
It’s nearly Mother’s day
Gifts and little sweeties
And roses in a spray.
Lovely hand drawn pictures
A home made cherry tart
Cards that say I love you
All written from the heart
But this one is the first time
Since we said goodbye
No card to buy, no posy
Just a tear drop in my eye.
But memories surround me
And for that I’m really glad
I look back and remember
And try not to be sad
To all you lovely mothers
Make memories sweet and kind
One day they’ll be the magic
That you have left behind.
