Love your Mum...

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Mar 25, 2017

"It must've been hard, rearing four healthy young boys
trying to earn some money for nice clothes, and new toys.
But mum managed somehow to cope on her pittance of pay,
to bring up her lads, in her own special way.
The headaches, and worry was part of her daily life,
never ever appreciated, for being a mother, and a wife.
We loved her to bits, of that there's no doubt,
but I wish we could've told her, as she scurried about,
alas, she's now gone, and it's oh so too late,
I'm so full of regrets, because my mum was great."
