for mum

Thanks for the hugs, and kisses, and notes in my lunchbox
Thanks for the haircuts, and hand me downs
(I know I didn't like them at the time)
Thanks for the tuna casserole, and fried eggplant and carrot juice
Thanks for dropping me off at parties, and picking me up at midnight
Thanks for putting up with my nonsense sometimes
Thanks for being there for me, all the time
Thanks for the dancing, the singing, the silliness
Thanks for the camping, the road trips, the adventures
Thanks for reading to me, banning television, and shooing us outside
Thanks for teaching me to never stop asking questions
Thanks for your never ending encouragement and support

Thanks for being my mum
Happy Mother's Day
