My Mum

She has…
Perfectly ripe hazel nut eyes,
warm soft hands that curl around mine
red roses and cinnamon, the scent I'll never forget.

As long as she’s with me I can:
Play the piano
Bake caramel slice
And be myself

Every day she comes home to us and her glass of merlot.
A few wrinkles here and there, showing her smile, her five children and the years she’s proud of.
