My parents have decided to self-isolate and so for the first time I am not spending Mother’s Day with my mum. Who knows if we’ll be back together in time for Father’s Day?!

Normally I see my mum every day as they live so close; it has been really odd not being able to pop round or hear her knock at our door. I know it is only temporary but my heart is a little bit broken.

Your present’s sat here waiting,

The card is here too.

The only thing that’s missing

Is my wonderful mum: YOU!

I know we need to keep you safe,

Locked away inside

But Mother’s Day without you

Is a day I can’t abide.

I know I am so lucky

To have you living near

But the door that’s stood between us

Is a barrier of fear.

This virus will not beat us

Our nation will stand with pride

This measure is only short term:

Soon I’ll be back by your side.
