Mum, you brought me into this world, nurtured me,scolded me and loved me. Wiped my tears, held my hand,watched me grow. Under your watchful eye I grew and became a woman, then you gently pushed me out into the bigger world, and gave me the confidence to open up my wings and fly. You loved me enough to let me go. Yet, you opened up your loving arms wide to let me feel safe and warm whenever I needed to. You taught me everything I needed to know, you knew when I needed to talk and when I just needed to be held. You have given me the strength to live my life, and now I must live my life without you in it. I have had to find the strength to let you go, as you did for me. Now you have the wings to fly in a better place than this, so soar on high Mum, carried on the waves of love. You taught me well. xxxxxxxxxxx
