If Words Could Ever Explain

All from the beginning Almost a year of pains All the early sickness Everything from sleepless night To kicks in the stomach From nights of torture To nappy changing All the cuddling The joy of fist words to first steps Could words ever explain My gratitude. All you gave me Unconditional love you gave Your undying love to date Through thick and thin by my side All the support and courage you gave But words could never explain What you really mean House could never be a home without you Family could never be complete without you You’re a role model You’re heroine You’re everything In my eyes nothing compares to you In my eyes your love and care is endless Because you’re the best Keep on mother As the saying goes 'Mmangwana o swara thipa ka bogaleng' ‘Mother grasps a knife by the blade.’
