So many years ago still I remember
Like yesterday your
beauty glitters like an angel
As you were so you are
And tears fall down when those white hairs becomes visible
You
were as strong as a lioness
So brave like a bear
You were as loving as a dolphin
Too gentle like a dove
You
were a protector, a shed
An umbrella and a mother
Your shoulders are equipped with wonderful pillows
For everyone
to lean on
My mother!
A phrase I love so much
Mother of sweet smell flowers
The one I long to embrace each
minute
The one I pray for without ceasing
The one I am proud of always
And the one I will always stare
My
mother!
My happiness my sight
You are the cause of my endless joy
And these words I will always share
Your smile
is a smile of life
Your words are pearls of wisdom
Blessed is your husband; blessed are your children
When I
was little still I remember
You wrapped me in your arms so gently
Like a hen does to her chicks
You chased the cold
wind away
And I was never tasty
When I was going astray
You cried! Never you let gone me
And at late night you
would wake me up
And fed me with powerful words
You made me a prayer point
And my tears were wiped away
Oh mother!
How can I say thank you?
I need you as a calf needs his mother
And I know you will always be there
I pray
God give you abundance of life
For you to reap from the fertile soil you sowed
You will see your children’s children
For
God is on our side
So smile that joyful smile sweet mother
Because your children loves you so much
Yesterday
to this day you remain the same
Indeed, you are the sweetest mother
In the whole wide world
I love you my sweet
mother
