My Mum Poem by G PAUL FISHER

My mum
I wish I'd listened, paid attention
Instead of arguing with every mention,
Of your voice so true and teaching,
But now you're gone and I am reaching,
For the truth, the words you said,
That now are running around my head,
I know I loved you but couldn't show it,
Life hardened me, it made me do it,
And now you're gone the words come flooding,
I hope you can hear me now I'm budding,
Into a man for the first time ever,
And my bond with you will last forever,
My words have wings, my thoughts are true,
I just wish I could say them straight to you,
You are now ever in my heart,
For the rest of my life that now will start,
I love you mum, you are the best,
But now you're gone I hope you'll rest.
Thanks mum, your loving son Paul.
