Old picture carefully keeps
Plaited hair, eyes with a bit of finesse,
Sunday best with a butterfly in beads…
How pretty were you, Dear Mummy.
Years come as a kitten on its paws,
Wrinkles set in hands, around eyes,
Charming woman, blooming autumn rose,
Never fade away, be healthy, Mum.
Seventy, who gives you more than fifty,
Graceful, tender, with a slender waist,
Like a girl you’re playing with a kiddy,
Dear Mummy, you are still the best.
Always come when I need you to be,
Jacky of all trades, you do in all your might.
You are a gulp of water, the Earth for me
Giving warmth and kindness, and love.

Deep and touching words, you really love your mother and she is worth it! Good luck!

Dear Helen? thank you for your heartfelt words. And that butterfly was dark-blue and yellow, Mum did it when she was 16 or 17.

Your touching words come from your heart, very emotional, lyrical.Your mother inspires you to write such beautiful lines: " You are a gulp of water, the Earth for me". Best wishes!

Sincere and touching words. I see that you really love your mother. I wish you success in the contest.

Great! Fantastic! Marvellous!
Best wishes!
