Did you read my letter Mum?
It went special delivery
I wrote all about our family
And how special you are to me.
I wrote about what we have achieved
And how we’ve honoured the memory of you
How you are always present in our hearts
How you live on in our children too.
Did you read my letter Mum?
It was just from me to you
For if you read my letter Mum
I will know that Dad is with you.
For I carefully placed it in his hand
The day he left us to be with you
Also remembering with love her parents Alec and Ettie Robertson.
