It's Strange
It's strange we don't appreciate, the things we see each day
We never know their value, until they're cruelly snatched away
Things I took for granted then, her voice, her smile, her touch
I always knew I loved her - but I never knew how much

Life’s Lessons
You may have thought we didn’t see - or that we hadn’t heard
life’s lessons that you taught us - but we got every word.

Perhaps you thought we missed it all and that we’d grown apart,
But Mum, we picked up everything - it’s written on our hearts.

Without you, Mum, we wouldn’t be the people we are today.
You built a strong foundation - no-one can take away.

We’ve grown up with your values and we’re very glad we did,

So here’s to you, dear Mum, from your ever grateful kids.

Winnie the pooh
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together,
there is something you must always remember…
You are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem
and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is
even if we are apart I'll always be with you.
Walt Disney
