MY MOTHER – MY STRENGTH
Mother, my strength as a child,
My angel of guide through reality,
My comfort in the cruel world,
She is my mother, my teacher of love.

Her heart has no bars,
Her ways mentor me on confidence,
Her choices mentor me of boldness,
She is my mother, my teacher of knowledge.

Mummy scolds to teach me,
Mummy don’t spare me when I’m wrong,
Mummy has guided me through childhood,
She is my mother, my teacher of sense.

She wipes my tears,
She stays awake so I can sleep,
She face her fears so I can live,
She is my mother, my teacher of strength.

She tells me about God,
She has always shown me the right path,
She brings my heart close to God,
She is my mother, my teacher of the gospel.

You celebrate my success,
You hurt when I’m wounded,
and when life bring time of strife,
You are my mother, my teacher of hope.

Your love is of no bound,
You give my weaknesses life,
You tolerate my childishness,
You are my mother, my teacher of care.

She grows more beautiful,
Even when life almost breaks her,
She smile everyday so I won’t be worried,
She’s an icon, she’s my joy.
