You always had a happy 
						  face 
						  I never saw you frown. 
						  Were always there to pick me up 
						  Whenever I was down. 
						  
You always cared for others 
						  Put their needs before your own. 
						  Made any guest feel welcome 
						  You made them feel at home. 
						  
						  Christmastime you loved the best. 
						  It twinkled in your eyes. 
						  Like "Mrs Claus" 
						  You'd dress the house. 
						  Feed all Sherry and Mince Pies. 
						  
The first to surface every day. 
						  You loved the morning sun. 
						  I never could be prouder 
						  To have you for my mum.
