March the 23rd 4.05
That date and time is etched on my memory as long as I'm alive
My Mum passed away and her soul was re-leased
Life as I knew it had come to cease
Birthdays and Christmases she made the best
Now I have a dull ache in my chest
She taught me so much when I was a child
All the time she spent teaching me every nursey ryhme that was told.
The holidays in Peebles where we as kids ran wild
The singing of songs about coos and sheep
Till you came and told us you didn't want to hear another peep.
I still ahve to stop myself picking up the phone
To ask your advice or just a general moan
I hope you will meet me when my time has come
Then I can again be with you my Mum x
