Mother

As I wake up this morning
My thoughts are about mum
Knowing she is all alone
It can't be much fun

She lives in Bonnie Scotland
In a quiet little place
We talk quite often
But i never see her face

When people visit her
There is lots of food and wine
Talking about the good old days
And having a real good time

Then the time comes
To make the long journey home
Four hours on the motorway
With the future unknown

We pack up the car
And say goodbye
Every time we leave
She has a tear in her eye

Its a very long journey
We live 250 miles apart,
But she is my mother,
And is always in my heart,
