YOU WERE MUM TO ONE AND ALL

BY MITHU KRISHNASWAMY

I cannot tell this story

I will only say what I know

You were a mum to all so long

Whether they be friend or foe

Your smile and counsel, the way you gave,

Unconditional to our woes, always brave

How many visits how many meals

Did you make for all without any deal

You saw us through thick and thin

From all your heart and soul within

With Dad at your side you were the dynamic two

To bring ever lasting joy to anyone blue

The last few years were hard I know

You stopped talking you lost your glow

But you seemed to know with a touch of your hand

Who had come to say Hi and written on the sand

I will always regret that I did not do

What I promised that Sunday and heard by few

To paint your nails again as you always loved

Pink or Red was well deserved

To your babies Vin, Lil and Kitch

What a mum you have had she will be sorely missed

By all of us whose lives she touched

In a million ways we loved her so much

If you see Mum in heaven,

She wont be hard to find’

She is God's Masterpiece of Motherhood

She was & will remain one of a kind
