She was but a young girl
she gave up her purity
for me to be made
I did not exist to the world
until the night she bled for me

Behold, congratulations they told her
you are  pregnant, you carry a life
she cried out of happiness
She held onto her baby
hello love,she said
am your mother

Days passed by, her belly grew in size
sleepless nights,swollen feet,
couldnt keep the food down for long
and weird cravings,but all she thought about was the day she would meet her angel

for nine months she suffered,
sometimes couldnt even stand up
but patiently she endured.
And finally, she bled again
to help me see the world.
She bled a bucket but the first thing she
asked

where is my baby?
she cried,not out of pain but out of love
she carried he baby and smiled
Hello baby,I love you.
As I grew,I fell but she never got tired
she picked me up at every step

scratched knees,bleeding elbows
she was my permanent doctor
nursed me through every sickness
held me through every heartbreak
hug and caressed me through all my failures
loved me even when I commited crimes
defended me  with her blood

my umma,my mother
she loves me like no other
treasured me  through all my faults
defended me through all my wars
sheltered me through it all
my mother, my Queen
no other like her, my world.
I love you ummi
you are my all.
