TO MOTHER

Was afraid of the night until you came, to save;

You came and poured until there was nothing in you left,

without counting yourself you came and always gave;

today I feel as the one that came and was the theft!

 

A lost kid was I in a world full of mystery;

little did I know that this was just the start,

little did I know, from there came a great misery;

still you kept true to life and true to your heart.

 

You always taught me right from my wrong;

though I must say I constantly sought out the bad,

you tried to show me how to be strong;

nothing I have done is this world has made you glad;

still you remained as sweet as a song,

you had the hope in me that I would be a grad.

 

Sorry for the disappointment, never meant to hurt you;

in my life you were never the cause or reason for hurt.

Everyone was downin’ me -- you came to take away the blue;

Momma, you’re the Queen of my life,

for you I will give my shirt.

 

Mother, because of you today I stand and shine;

in a world so dark that only takes and fakes,

Momma I must say, you are the root and the vine;

you stood as the only thing that never breaks.

 

If I have left something unsaid, please forgive my ignorance;

for forever I will be in debt to mother.

Till this day, you’ll always remain as the one – the only fragrance.

Until today you are the only – my Mother.
