Not an enemy in her life my Mum made.
Role of perfect Mum she always played.
A woman of dignity, of class and heart.
So many qualities which set her apart.
Always there for me in all my 63 years.
Now today I cannot control my tears.
A Mum I could show off with such pride!
Now my Mum has Angels by her side.
As she's now at rest and free from pain.
Elizabeth 'Lilly' Bartram, my Mums name.
After flame lit skies and bonfire shows.
Today in Heaven a brighter light glows.
The saddest poem I have ever had to write.
Love you Mum, God Bless you, goodnight.
