The Singing Star!

entry picture

This is my Mum holding the microphone.

Not onstage…just Mum singing at home!

Looking healthy, and as happy as can be.

If I close my eyes, those times I can see.

My youthful Mum, so beautiful and fair.

Having fun with her kids, without a care!

I often go to sleep, thinking back that far.

Hoping I’ll dream of Mum, the singing star!

But my wishful dream is yet to come true.

Until it does, this picture will more than do!

 

(Pic taken in my bedroom, a very long time ago...Miss you Mum xx)

Love this! I can totally relate...every day I miss my mom. Poems about our mothers surely make them smile, wherever they may be.
