What is a Mum?

Chris Cowley died in 2010. This poem is taken from the Service of Love and Thanksgiving to Celebrate Chris’ Life. Read the tribute to Chris here

A mum is one of life's best gifts,
Someone to treasure all life through,
She's caring and loving,
Thoughtful and true,
Someone who is always a special part of your life,
Someone who holds a prime place in your heart,
She's a mentor, a confident and also a friend,
Someone on whose love you can depend.

A mum always has your best interests at heart,
She's someone so dear and so good,
She's a blessing, she's a gift,
She's a treasure like no other,
She's someone that is truly wonderful.

Wherever you go, and whatever you do,
A mum’s love will always see you through,
A mum is truly invaluable,
Indispensable and unforgettable.

I wouldn't want anyone but you,
And that's why I'm so grateful,
that life picked you for me.
