Today, Mum, I thank you
For sticking by me like glue,
Putting up with me when I was glum.
You truly are the best, Mum.

I know I put you through hell,
I was young, but I remember well.
Back then, all I did was fight.
I wish I'd listened cause I know you were right.

Mum, I was emotionally ill
But still, I hold the guilt.
But you never gave up on me,
Though at the time, I couldn't see.

My anger wasn't aimed at you though
If I could turn back time, I'd go
Back and change it all
And demolish that brick wall.

What I'm trying to say, Mum
Is thank you for all you've done.
For showing the way, having faith in me
When I was too blind, too stupid to see.
