POEM - DAVE’S MOTHER

DAVE’S MOTHER


WHEN YOU WERE JUST A TODDLER
SHE’D MAKE YOU SMILE AND LAUGH
SHE’D SOMETIMES PUT YOU IN A BOWL
INSTEAD OF IN THE BATH

WHEN YOU FELT UNHAPPY
AND DIDN’T FEEL LIKE FUN
SHE’D HELP YOU GET BACK ON YOUR FEET
COS SHE WAS NUMBER ONE

IF THERE WAS A CHOICE TO MAKE
TO FIND OUT WHO’S THE BEST
YOU COULD ONLY SAY, IT’S JACKIE BOYCE
SHE’S ABOVE ALL OF THE REST
