This is for my mother because she’s amazing and beyond! Words honestly cannot describe how truly overwhelmed and grateful I am for all that she’s done for me. Endless gratitude, just endless. Love you mum!
And for all the other mothers in the world may you also enjoy this day and this song. A beautiful track by Curtis Mayfield entitled The Makings of You.
A little sugar, honey suckle lamb
Great expression of happiness
Boy, you could not miss with a dozen roses
Such would astound you
The joy of children laughing around you
These are the makings of youIt is true, the makings of you, oh
It’s been a miracle for what you’ve done
Please stay right by my side
Two can be one for the righteous way to go
Anyone would know
I believe I thought I told you so
You’re second to noneLove of all mankind should reflect some sign
Of the words I’m trying to recite
They’re close, but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Describing the makings of you
PS: I swear my mum is pure energy. Spent last night shaking a leg with her at an aunt’s 50th and I must have clocked up 3 seat breaks. Mum on the other hand… not one! Pure energy I tell you and I expect the secret to eternal youth. I just hope it’s genetic.
