My mother’s like a blue bird
She sings me lovely tunes
And though she flied of in the day
And arrives the dead of the day
She sings her lovely blue bird songs
And makes me feel alright
My mother’s like a hawk
My every move she watches
If ever dear to stray
She hovers over constantly
Keeping me in track.
My mother’s like a hawk
She guards me all around
Not a finger can they lay
Nor a bruise upon my face
She roars and growls in my support
She makes me feel so safe.
My mother’s like a snail
She carries our burden
It hurts for me to watch
She keeps it all alone
So I need not alone
And then she says it’s all right
Just leave it all to Mummy
My mother’s like sloth
She sleeps her day away,
And even though I want her help
I know it’s better to leave her be
She needs a break from time to time
I love my mother so very much!!!
