For My Mum

I'm three years old
Hugging your legs
Smiling up at you

You're so beautiful
Inside and out
And oh, how I love you

I'm eight years old
And my little world
Is still in the fairy way

When I feel sad
You hug me close
Then everything's okay

You keep me safe
In our own heaven
I want to stay always

And I know
I didn't always understand
Now I'm past that phase

I'm eighteen now
You're still my haven
And I just wanted to say

Thank you so much
For everything
You gave me everyday
