SWEET MUM! MY SWEET MUM
My First Love, My Greatest Blessing,
My Forever Treasure
Sweet Mum, my sunshine,
my morning star,
Your love surrounds me, near or far.
The gentle hands that wiped my tears,
The soothing voice that calmed my fears.
Before I knew what love could be,
You gave your whole wide world to me.
You held my hands when I could not stand,
And guided my steps across life's sand.
You stayed awake while others slept,
And smiled through tears you secretly wept.
You gave me comfort, warmth, and care,
And lifted my burdens through every prayer.
Oh, Sweet Mum,
how can I explain The love that heals my deepest pain?
You gave me hope when dreams seemed far,
And taught me to reach beyond the stars.
When life was cruel and friends were few,
I found my greatest strength in you.
Your sacrifices were never small,
You gave your best, you gave your all.
You hid your worries behind a smile,
And walked with me through every mile.
Sometimes you went without a meal,
Yet never showed the pain you'd feel.
Your hands grew tired, your body weak,
Yet love was all your actions spoke.
You wore your struggles like a crown,
And lifted me whenever I fell down.
You taught me courage, faith, and grace,
And how to meet the world with a smiling face.
Sweet Mum,
I remember those childhood days,
Your bedtime stories and gentle ways.
The songs you sang to help me sleep,
The promises you struggled to keep.
The little kisses upon my face,
The warm embrace of your safest place.
You taught me kindness, truth, and right,
To stand for justice and seek the light.
To never surrender when storms appear,
To walk with courage despite my fear.
And when my dreams seemed out of sight,
You reminded me that stars shine at night.
If I could gather the stars above,
They wouldn't measure a mother's love.
If I could purchase the finest gold,
It couldn't repay the hands I hold.
No royal palace, no precious stone,
Could equal the love you've always shown.
Now that I'm older, I understand The silent struggles behind your hands.
The dreams you buried so mine could grow,
The tears you shed that I'd never know.
The prayers you whispered when hope was thin,
The battles you fought for me to win.
And when the years turn your hair to grey,
I'll cherish your smile in every way.
I'll hold your hands as you held mine,
And treasure your love till the end of time.
I'll tell the world how much you gave,
And celebrate the sacrifices you made.
If life should grant me a thousand years,
I'd spend them wiping away your tears.
If I could choose my life anew, In every lifetime,
I'd still choose you.
For heaven blessed my life with you,
A mother's love so pure and true.
Sweet Mum, my angel, my precious treasure,
Your love is a blessing beyond all measure.
No distance, no season, no passing day,
Could ever take my love away.
And if the world should forget my name,
My love for you will remain the same.
For all that I am and all I'll become,
I'll forever be grateful to you,
