31 Years of Motherhood
31 YEARS OF BEING THE HAPPIEST MOTHER
IN ALL THE WORLD
IS TRULY SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE
BECAUSE MAKEBA IS MY LITTLE GIRL
I TAUGHT HER TO GRAB LIFE BY THE TAIL
AND NEVER LET IT GO
KEEP SMILIN-THAT’S MY LEGACY
THE BRIGHT SIDE WILL ALWAYS SHOW
SOMETIMES WHEN THE WATER SEEMS TOO ROUGH
I TRY TO STOP HER FROM JUMPING IN
BUT I RAISED A STRONG BLACK WOMAN
HER MISSION IS TO WIN
I’M PROUD OF HER-SHE’S BEAUTIFUL
I’M THE LUCKIEST MOTHER IN THE WORLD
SHE’S 31 NOW AND MY BEST FRIEND
BUT SHE’S STILL MY LITTLE GIRL
