Like Mother Like Daughter
Like Mother like Daughter
You will always hold a special place in my heart
There is an invisible bond we have that will alway set us apart
See although the days of tip toeing in your high heels are gone
with the drawings of you as a stick person standing beside in crayon.
The memories of putting your makeup all over my face
See some things however long gone never erase
Those moments when i refused to let go and kept a tight grasp on your hands.
And the memories of you holding my belly as i tried to swim with armbands.
Its these memories as we grow that we hold dear
That are kept alive in our minds and never disappear
As i look back at those memories, i always wanted to be just like you mum
Little did i know as i grew that would happen in time to come.
See those times you told me off for being too close to the tv
I now tell those little ones around me if they do that they will have square eyes to see.
Those times where you sent me to bed for not eating my tea
Back then i thought you were unfair but now i agree.
The worry you felt when i stayed out and didn't keep in touch
I understand that worry now and how it isn't a bit too much.
See when i was a teenager i thought you just loved to nag
Thought you wanted my life to be such a drag!
Turns out i couldn't have been more wrong
As you just wanted what was best for me all along.
Now i am a young woman myself and try to guide children the right way
I realise i'm just a chip of the ole block standing here today.
See you hold a special place because without you i’d be lost
Without your guidance who knows what paths i would have crossed.
You're the one person who has been there since i entered the world
As i stood there in my little dresses with my hair tightly curled.
You're the one person who from the get go has been my angel here on earth
Without your love and guidance i wouldn't know my worth.
Everything i am and have been i owe to you my mum
I hope i become half the women you are , in the future that's yet to come
As then I know there will be anything that i can overcome.
See your not just my mum but you're also my best friend
Someone who i will always depend.
You're strong, and beautiful on the inside and out
The best mum i could have ever have wished for without a doubt
You're honestly an angel in disguise and a true gift from above.
my one true love.
