Three Little Letters

Three little letters that mean so much

Soft spoken words, a tender touch

A smile to chase tears on a sorrowful day

A note to face fears when you’re far away

The laugh that says it will be all right

The way the darkness dissolves in the light

Magic roast dinners, sumptuous pud

Heavy table, laden with food

Washing hanging in the summer breeze

The hot swish of ironing, flattening ease

Holidays long, and so filled with fun

Days crowded with friends, playing in the sun

Baths running, hot water soaked with bubbles

Soothing away all those kiddie troubles

A hug, the warmth, the story at night

A last blown kiss before turning out the light

Kids getting older, the love doesn’t jade

Arguments, blow ups, smiles do not fade

Advice, oft ignored ‘til realization dawns

Staying up worrying, stifling yawns

Becoming a grandmother, the gentle pride

A baby who won’t leave her childs side

The swell in her heart as the first words come

Three little letters, it’s simply

                                      ‘MUM’
