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
