happy birthday mummy

When times are dull and monotonous
You bring on life and colours and rhyme
You bring on fun and laughter when we’re young
Which carry on in our hearts through time

When times are dark and fearful
You bring light to brighten it up
You bring warmth to comfort our nerves
You bring assurance that you’ll never give up

When times are unreasonable and unjust
You take in our raging temper
You calm us down with soothing words
When none other would understand better

When times are happy and full of zest
Often we take for granted how it came to be
That, really, life for us is grand and wholesome
You made sure of that when you raised us three
