Hey Mum! come look, see what I find,
A brand new place, it's just the kind,
Of place we said we'd always go,
There's sunshine, grass and even snow.
There's heaps of dogs n cats n stuff,
But you hafta play nice, there's no-one rough,
No biting allowed, but nipping's okay,
But only if it's meant in play.
You can run for days and not get lost,
The mornings are warm, no nasty frost,
Everyday seems better than the last,
Some days go slow, some days go fast.
Hey Mum! Hey Mum! Where'd you go?
You were just right here, I'm sure that I know,
You were right beside me, you held me tight,
Oh..and then you gently kissed me goodnight.
That's right, I forgot, I had to leave,
You had to stay behind and grieve,
And now you're sad, and I'm not there,
To snuggle tight in our favourite chair.
Hey Mum! Don't cry, I'll wait right here,
I won't run off like you used to fear,
I'll sit and stay and drop, like you taught,
I'll wear that daggy jumper you bought.
You'll be here soon and I'll sit here and wait,
And when you come through the Rainbow Gate,
I'll run to your side, we'll be happy and free.
And we'll play here forever, just my Mummy and me.
