Then, Now, and Forever

 

 
 
WHEN I was wrapped up in a blanket,
Tucked cozily in a little basket,
She sang to me a lullaby,
Until I finally closed my eyes.
 
When I started to toddle,
Across the floor I tottered and wobbled,
She held me by little two hands,
Until the day I could firmly stand.
 
When I started going to school,
When I was lost in a new world without a clue,
She brought me to class and would not depart,
Until I knew the school by heart.
 
When I was in a total mess,
Sitting in a corner all depressed,
She gently pulled me into her arms,
Until I was better, till I was calm.
 
When I left for university,
And had to move to a foreign city,
She went with me and settled me down,
Until I knew my ways around.
 
She cradled me then when I was a baby,
Now in front of her she sees a young lady,
Then I used to crawl on my little tummy,
Now I look just like my mummy.
 
My mummy, she is the finest,
My mummy, she is marvelous,
Then, now and forever, she's always the best,
I love you mummy, my mummy dearest.
