Throughout my life you've cared for me In oh so many ways. You were my Florence Nightingale Way back in childhood days. And nestled in your cosy lap I'd readily engage With captivating stories as Your voice lit up each page. Returning home from school each day I knew you would be there And on the table there would be A tasty meal to share. That child is now a Mum herself Oh how the years have flown. But time has served to magnify The love you've always shown.
