Mother

Mother mine
You are divine

Your lullabies sweet
Put me to sleep

You carried me around
Like treasure profound

On my first step
Caught me before my fall

When my eyes did well
Your heart did weep

On first day of my school
At the gates you fret

Hunger I never knew
Neither for love nor food

You're lessons were hard, but
Eased my life's challenges

Understood the woman you are
Now that I am a mother

The different roles you played
Never realised how tough they were

You had your ups and downs
But never let it be known

I feel so honored
That I am your daughter

Mother mine
You are divine
