How do you say ‘thank you’

For all that has been done for you

When you’re most vulnerable?

Whether you’re one day old

One decade old

Or much older than that

Mum is there

Loving you

Through the minutes

The months

And the decades

By stroking your forehead

Or cleaning you

Or visiting you in hospital…

Or worse

You say ‘thank you’

Not just in word

But also in deed

By reciprocating

By being there

For her

Knowing that you can never repay

All that has been done for you

But you can still try
