MAMA
A baby I was,
In your hands, I’ve grown up
You’ve cradled me in your arms
You’ve heard my first cry and words
You’ve watched my first steps
You’ve felt my needs
— — — — —
A little boy I was,
You’ve shown me the way to school
Holding my hands till my classroom
You’ve taught me how to be cool
When my classmates were so mean
You’ve taught me no matter what
I have to follow my dreams
— — — — —
Now a young man I am,
Be like you is what I aim
I truly had a wonderful childhood
Because you taught me how to be good
To be honest at any cost
In that way, I won’t be lost
— — — — —
An old man maybe I will be,
God only knows how many days are left for me to see
I will acknowledge that I was fortunate
To show you my love before it was too late
To hug you like my last date
In my mind, an **ICON** you will stay
A motivation you will be for me every day
