A Letter to Mum
To my wonderful Mum
I have to say sorry
For the teenage tantrums
And all of the worry
For all the times
I answered you back
Sulked and protested
And veered off the track.
Thanks for forgiving,
(Just one of your gifts)
For the listening ear
The advice and the lifts
Your unquestioning love
Your caring devotion
The hugs and support
At times of commotion.
You told me the truth
Yet let me be me
And helped me to find
Who I wanted to be.
You shaped me and gave me
All that you had
Stayed by my side
In good times and bad.
So thank you for showing
What parents should be
With all of my love Mum
Forever - from me.

For the noise and the tantrums,
The things that I break.
For all of the times
I wake you at night,

She’s talented at listening and giving good advice.
She’s considerate and loving, she’s funny and she’s kind
She worries for her family but she also knows her mind.
Beautiful outside and in, she’s cherished and adored
And on a daily basis she deserves a big award.
In tidying and washing, in ironing and dinner,
In selflessness and loyalty this mum’s a worthy winner.
Thoughtful and hardworking, she is held in such affection
The panel were unanimous in making their selection.
We’re happy to announce today the crown is going to...
The best mum in the widest world and that, of course, is you!

A newspaper reader, an ‘oh yes indeeder’
A godsend to mother, a garden lover
A debater, relater, a cold weather hater
A picker-upper, a pop round for supper
A thinker, a winker, a cup of tea drinker
A mender, a sender, a coaxer & lender
A free taxi driver & slipper of fiver
A pleaser, a teaser, affectionate squeezer
That’s what makes a grandparent!

A Recipe for Marriage
A pinch of understanding
A tablespoon of trust
A drop of fun and flattery
And a smattering of lust.
A teaspoon of adventure
A heap of hopes and wishes
An ounce or two of thoughtfulness
And a scoop of hugs and kisses.
A grain or two of constancy
A dash of admiration
A slice of friends and family
And a cup of conversation.
A dollop of devotion
A soupcon of surprise
A bunch of boring household chores
And a spot of compromise.
A drizzling of honesty
A sprinkling of laughter
A splash of patience and support
Makes… a Happy Ever After!

What is a Marriage?
It’s loving & cherishing, hopefully relishing
It’s hosting & toasting & Sunday roasting
It’s having & holding, the odd little scolding
It’s guessing, confessing & nightly undressing
It’s trying, relying, a little white lying
It’s snoring, adoring, occasionally boring
It’s enduring, alluring & most reassuring
It’s knowing & showing, & mutually growing
It’s compliment giving & always forgiving
It’s sharing & caring & dressing gown wearing
It’s walking, it’s talking & bottle uncorking
It’s tender supporting & raucous cavorting
It’s secret confiding & shoulder providing
It’s readily praising & often amazing
It’s loving, respecting & calmly accepting
It’s cleaning, it’s mopping, it’s waltzing & bopping
It’s needing, conceding & possibly breeding
It’s playing & paying, it’s coping & staying
It’s comfort when weeping, a warm body sleeping
It’s lives interweaving & always believing
That’s what makes a marriage.

And keeps the family together.

Bespoke Verse specialise in poetry themed gifts and were lucky enough to be appointed 'POETS LESS ORDINARY' by notonthehighstreet.com during their Valentine's Day campaign 2015.
These fun and unique notebooks were printed just for us - here in the UK. The cover is made from 100% recycled kraft paper. The text is digitally printed in black ink.
The notebook is stapled together at the side and contains 36 blank white pages. The pages are made of high quality 90gsm uncoated, recycled paper. It measures A5 - H21 x W14.5cm
