Agnes Drummond Currie

My mum was a kind gentle person.My mum was a really good mother to eleven children seven sons and four daughters.

Mum i really miss you and think of you regulary.Mum you know how much i care for you.

Who held our hand when we were lost?
Told us winter stories about Jack Frost?
Or made each meal a special treat?
And cooked us our favourite sweet?

That first day at school, who cried first?
Whose eyes into tears did burst?
And then later, to greet us full of smiles?
Not showing any of motherhood’s trials?

Who quietly told us of the birds and bees?
Not the ones that fly in trees.
Prepared us for our adulthood life,
Warned us of joy, happiness and strife.

The day we left home as a husband or wife,
Who with a tear wished us a happy new life?
To remind us that in life there is fun,
And to never forget, our loving mum . . .
