<p><em><strong>Entry 1:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>She listens when I need her<br />
And she taught me how to bake,<br />
She fills my car with petrol<br />
She gives but never takes.</em></p>
<p><em>Her laugh is quite infectious<br />
And her temper vivid too<br />
She&#8217;s a walking contradiction<br />
But a constant when i&#8217;m blue.</em></p>
<p><em>She has a strange connection<br />
With me when I&#8217;m not there,<br />
She phones just when i&#8217;m thinking<br />
That I have something to share.</em></p>
<p><em>Its very reassuring<br />
To know that she loves me<br />
The best friend that I ever had<br />
Was given to me for free.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 2:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>My Mum is seventy-three year’s old,<br />
But so fit and active, she can still touch her toes!<br />
Grey haired and wrinkled, an industrious cook,<br />
But she can still carry-off a glamorous look.</em></p>
<p><em>Loves a good party, full of fun and good cheer,<br />
But after 50 years married, was sadly widowed last year.<br />
Despite the loneliness, she didn’t give-in to depression,<br />
But instead taught us all a valuable lesson.</em></p>
<p><em>You get just one life &#8211; it’s happy and it’s sad,<br />
But you have to keep going for your dear old Dad.<br />
He’d never have wanted us to stop living,<br />
But instead keep-on laughing, loving and giving.</em></p>
<p><em>Family and friends are the most precious people you’ll know,<br />
But we’re guilty of not letting our love for them show.<br />
Mum, you’re courageous, optimistic, a star,<br />
But I’m guilty of not telling you how precious you are.</em></p>
<p><em>You’re a wonderful Mother on who we depend,  But much more than that, you’re my most precious friend.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 3:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Mum your love is everything,<br />
you hold a heart of gold,<br />
I treasure and respect you,<br />
Though you&#8217;re very seldom told.</em></p>
<p><em>You brought me into this world,<br />
and filled my heart with love,<br />
To you I was the greatest gift<br />
A gift from God above</em></p>
<p><em>You cared for me as a baby<br />
and guided me through my youth<br />
You kissed away my aches and pains<br />
and saved my 1st loose tooth</em></p>
<p><em>You prepared me for my adult life<br />
and set me on my way<br />
But I know if I have a problem<br />
You&#8217;re just a call away</em></p>
<p><em>To be the perfect mother<br />
You fit the role just fine<br />
Noone could do it better mum<br />
and I&#8217;m so glad you&#8217;re mine.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 4:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>I love my mum because she cares,<br />
She&#8217;s non judgemental, always there,<br />
If I should cry, she&#8217;d dry my tears,<br />
Help me cope with all my fears</em></p>
<p><em>I love my mum for what she does,<br />
And for her unconditional love,<br />
She always knows just what to say,<br />
To send me happy on my way</em></p>
<p><em>I love my mum, she&#8217;s my best friend,<br />
It&#8217;s a love that will never, ever end<br />
Friends may come and friends may go<br />
But a mothers love will only grow</em></p>
<p><em>I love my mum, she is the best,<br />
Her love I do not need to test,<br />
I&#8217;ll always be right by her side,<br />
With a heart that is full of love and pride</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 5:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>She’s been there for me when no-one else has, she believes in me and everything I do, I love her because she is my rock, and my best friend. She is permanently smiling, even when when times are at their worst, she still manages to find a way to make everything seem okay. She&#8217;s the sunshine in my life, without her I would be lost. She&#8217;s done so much for me, I just wish I could find a way to show her how much she&#8217;s appreciated by everyone who knows her, me especially.</em></p>
<p><em>She really is the light in my life, she’s amazing in every way, from the way she laughs from the warm hugs that she gives me when I need her to comfort me. She is always full of fun, and there is no limit to the joy she brings to so many peoples lives. There is no way that I could ever explain just how much I love her, she’s far too amazing for words. There’s only one thing I can say, and that’s that I love her for simply being her.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 6</strong><br />
</em></p>
<address><em>Chorus:  Hale and hearty, hale and hearty,   Hale and hearty, she’s survived.  Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!  Going strong at 95!</em></address>
<address><em><br />
</em></address>
<address><em>Long ago, in 1915</em></address>
<address><em>On a January morn…..</em></address>
<address><em>It was war time, quite a poor time</em></address>
<address><em>For a baby to be born.</em></address>
<address><em><br />
</em></address>
<address><em> </em></address>
<address><em>Life is hard, if you are scarred</em></address>
<address><em>And her cleft lip made folks stare,</em></address>
<address><em>But she was teased, more by her peers</em></address>
<address><em>For her brilliant ginger hair.</em></address>
<address><em><br />
</em></address>
<address><em> </em></address>
<address><em>Teaching French, and teaching football</em></address>
<address><em>In a boys’ school was very hard,</em></address>
<address><em>They learned their verbs: she learned swear-words</em></address>
<address><em>And to flash the yellow card.</em></address>
<address><em><br />
</em></address>
<address><em> </em></address>
<address><em>Not a stranger, to any danger</em></address>
<address><em>In the war, she took a stance,</em></address>
<address><em>Through the air raids, with her nerves frayed</em></address>
<address><em>She drove her ambulance.</em></address>
<address><em><br />
</em></address>
<address><em> </em></address>
<address><em>Then in peace time, glad release time</em></address>
<address><em>Wedding bells and a wedding band,</em></address>
<address><em>No more doom-time; a baby-boom time</em></address>
<address><em>To re-populate the land.</em></address>
<address><em><br />
</em></address>
<address><em> </em></address>
<address><em>Sorely tried, when Arnold died</em></address>
<address><em>She shed many a bitter tear,</em></address>
<address><em>But found a smile, for every grandchild,</em></address>
<address><em>With a new one born each year.</em></address>
<p><em><strong>Entry 7:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>She is loving and kind.<br />
Eases the worries from my troubled mind.<br />
Always available and forgiving.<br />
There for me, so generous and giving.</em></p>
<p><em>Stocks my fridge when I can&#8217;t shop<br />
Collects things when I can&#8217;t stop.<br />
Her strength hides her vulnerable side.<br />
I&#8217;m her daughter, her friend, and sometimes her guide.</em></p>
<p><em>Believe me it&#8217;s not all sweetness and light.<br />
Being so close we can get in a fight.<br />
But just as quickly as the feathers fly,<br />
We&#8217;re back on track tears wiped from our eye.</em></p>
<p><em>She&#8217;s taught me all she knows and some.<br />
But mostly I&#8217;ve taught her how to have fun.<br />
I&#8217;d like to tell her how much she&#8217;s appreciated<br />
Is there an award for best Mum, so she can be nominated?</em></p>
<p><em>Because without my Mum around I must admit,<br />
Would be like a tear in my life without a sewing kit.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 8:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>My Ordinary Mum!<br />
She’s cared for and supported me  Protected me from harm<br />
Praised me when I’m feeling blue  When stressed she’s made me calm</em></p>
<p><em>She needs to know I’m happy  That everything’s OK<br />
It’s nice to know she’s always there  To help me on my way</em></p>
<p><em>Pride has always filled her eyes  And never has it waned<br />
From pictures that adorned the fridge  To, the Uni place I gained</em></p>
<p><em>She’s always there to comfort me  Via webcam or the phone<br />
A soothing voice to reassure  When feeling far from home</em></p>
<p><em>A wicked sense of humour  Young in heart and style<br />
Shopping for the latest trends  She can walk for miles and miles</em></p>
<p><em>If ever I’m in trouble  And I need a helping hand<br />
I know I can depend upon   Her doing what she can</em></p>
<p><em>She deserves the very best in life  Of that there is no doubt<br />
Making sure we get the best  She often goes without</em></p>
<p><em>She works hard making money  She’s always paid her way<br />
Mortgage, bills and groceries  This mum deserves her day.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 9:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>From toddler tantrums to childhood tears,<br />
Through adolescence and teenage years,<br />
Spots, braces, scraps and scraped knees,<br />
Make-up, fashion, the birds and the bees,</em></p>
<p><em>Best mates, first dates, squabbles with friends,<br />
Jealousies, rivalries, making amends,<br />
Getting a tattoo, (dad went berserk!),<br />
Exams, uni, starting work,</em></p>
<p><em>From silly little crushes to meeting &#8216;the one&#8217;,<br />
To getting married and the birth of my son,<br />
No matter what, my mum&#8217;s been there,<br />
To guide me, protect me, to listen, to care,</em></p>
<p><em>She loves and supports me, like no other,<br />
I&#8217;m lucky to have such a wonderful Mother!</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 10:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>I am great at making chips,<br />
Mending plugs and fixing zips.<br />
I know how to hula-hoop,<br />
I make fantastic mushroom soup.</em></p>
<p><em>I can salsa like a good &#8216;un<br />
You should taste my Yorkshire pudd&#8217;n.<br />
I know how to iron jeans,<br />
I can grow my own broad beans.</em></p>
<p><em>I can draw with great precision,<br />
I&#8217;m a whiz a long division.<br />
I know how to manage bills<br />
You should see my knitting skills!</em></p>
<p><em>I&#8217;m the one you can rely on,<br />
I&#8217;m a shoulder which to cry on.<br />
I know how to care and share,<br />
I know what is fair and square.</em></p>
<p><em>Though proud of everything I&#8217;ve done<br />
I owe it to my lovely mum.<br />
Our special bond will never go,<br />
She taught me everything I know.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 11:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>We love our Mum because&#8230;<br />
Penny is the name of our Mum<br />
We think she&#8217;s pretty cool.<br />
She&#8217;s quite laid back and smiles a lot,<br />
But she&#8217;s strict too &#8211; we know the rules!</em></p>
<p><em>She&#8217;s forever munching on salads,<br />
And she likes to keep fit at the gym.<br />
Some would say she&#8217;s a bit of a health freak,<br />
But without Mum our lives would be dim.</em></p>
<p><em>She always there when we need her,<br />
Support for exams or when we are down.<br />
She never criticises, she just gives advice,<br />
With Mum about, we never frown.</em></p>
<p><em>She sometimes gets nervy when we drive,<br />
Which can make us feel a little mad.<br />
But we know she&#8217;s only concerned about us,<br />
And that can&#8217;t really be bad!</em></p>
<p><em>We hope Mum knows how much we love her,<br />
We only really tell her on Mothers&#8217; Day.<br />
But we&#8217;ll make sure she knows we fully appreciate her,<br />
And that we love her in every possible way.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Entry 12:</strong></em></p>
<p><em>I love her because she is always there<br />
With loving arms of comfort when life’s just not fair<br />
She’s my best friend and mum rolled into one<br />
Second to none and my number one</em></p>
<p><em>Putting others before herself, catering to every demand<br />
A shoulder to cry on, always ready to understand<br />
She kisses my wounds better when I’m in pain<br />
Forever at my side she keeps me sane</em></p>
<p><em>Words of comfort when I’m feeling sad<br />
She can even make me giggle when I get mad<br />
Even in the hard times when she’s feeling down and blue<br />
She carries on regardless, keeps smiling through</em></p>
<p><em>No one compares, no better mum you’ll find,<br />
She’s warm hearted, generous, gentle and kind,<br />
For everything you are for just being you<br />
Without your love in my life what would I do?</em></p>
<p><em>I love you more than anyone<br />
And I’m proud to have and to call you Mum!</em></p>
