Mum, you’re my first home,
my first friend,
my forever safe place.

For all the nights you stayed awake,
for every worry you didn’t show,
I hope today gives you
even a little of the love
you’ve poured into me.

You held my hand when I was small,
you still hold my heart now I’m grown.

who’s always been home.

some wear dressing gowns,
drink cold tea
and keep the house running.
Happy Mother’s Day, everyday hero.

 

“The older I get,
the more I understand
just how much my mum did in silence.”
Thank you for every unseen effort. Happy Mother’s Day.

 

You stitched love into my childhood,
patience into my bad days,
and courage into my future.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mum.

 

If I could choose
from all the mums in the world,
I’d still choose you –
every single time.

Your hugs soften the hardest days,
your voice calms the loudest worries.
Today, I hope you feel
just how special you are.
Happy Mother’s Day.

 

Mum, you are my quiet constant –
in every season,
every storm,
every new beginning.
With all my love,
happy Mother’s Day.
