'Enough Is Enough'
Another year over quickly, another year on.
It’s still hard to take in, my Mum has gone.
3 years it has now been, so quickly passed.
The sorrow I feel in my heart is here to last.
The Bonfire ashes still flicker and smoulder.
Time has moved on, I'm now a year older.
A few rockets today, still take off to the sky.
This time of the year, it always makes me cry.
That Saturday morning after Bonfire night.
When my lovely Mum, simply ran out of fight.
Sometimes 'enough is enough' the Lord will say.
Mum's time had come, for strength I did pray.
Strength I was given, and today I need it still.
Love and miss you so much Mum…I always will.

Thank you very much for your kind comments, they are really appreciated, My Mum's name was Elizabeth but she was affectionately know as Lil or Lilly (from Lillian her second name)
