She’s the one

Who proudly called your name

Who gave you, life

She’s the one that wiped away

The snot and spittle

She’s the one when you cried stamped and screamed

Said it’s not fair

Was always there

And you knew it was safe

Because she always keeps mum

 

She is the one who is the queen of your dreams

She’s the one that ignores

The meaningless babble you sometimes

Pour out that can sound like scorn

She maybe, the one you’ve been warned about

But you won’t listen

She’s the one you don’t always understand

But always gets you

She’s the one who tells you to grow up

And you take it on the chin

She’s the one who will stick with you through thick

And through thin

She’s the one who bears your children

Puts up with all the grief

She’s the one who will gladly hold your hand

Tell you it’s alright when maybe it’s not

She’s the one who still wants

All of you in her life

 

She’s the one

That curls her toes and screams

When you pretend you’re a monster running round the room

She’s the one who likes dressing up in several layers

Who wants another story

Who wants to curl up into your arms

Particularly when she’s tired and sick

She’s the one you call your little princess

She’s the one who even now wants a hug

And will hold your hand

Walking down the street 

Even though she’s nearly as tall as you

 

She’s the curtain that never draws

Because she is the one
