A card that I write

To show that I care

Simply addressed:

Dear Mummy…Somewhere

No kisses. No hugs.

No soft “There, there”

Just all that I miss—

Dear Mummy…Somewhere

Now that I’m grown

I long to compare—

Would you do it like this?

Dear Mummy…Somewhere

The path I now take

You’re unable to share

So onward I go—

Dear Mummy…Somewhere

Never a reunion,

My unanswered prayer

Just a single photo—

Dear Mummy…Somewhere

A card that I write

To show that I care

Forever in my heart—

Dear Mummy…You’re There
