For Mum

Sat here now on this paradise isle
Enjoying the days ticking by
Time to reflect on life all the while
Brings thoughts of a tear to my eye

Almost 9 years since my mum passed away
I wonder what she'd think of me now
Sat gazing to sea in a year full of play
I think she'd be wondering how

But it's her who I credit for having this chance
And it's her who inspires me most
It's her who put hope and belief in my dance
And who sent me to take up this post

She gave up her life to live it through me
And then lost it before she had time
To witness the result of her lifes history
And the mountains she helped me to climb

I still see her eyes as she sat there and died
Her last whisper of breath saved for me
And I know that she'll always be sat here beside
Making sure i'm the person i'll be.
