Any Time; a Son's Cry

Anytime I hear the story of how I was born I tend to tear up Cos I see not just a woman, I see a mother, my protector, an angel, my queen. How you used your last breathe to give my first breathe How you embraced the arms of death, and brought me to earth And How you gave up your life to give me a life So Anytime I look at where I am now I begin to tear up How you walked through the rains Even with the sprain And When I hear stories of the pains you had to endure again and again Without complains tears fill up my eyes This woman was a superhuman Nine months she endured the suffering She used her love as a buffering Protecting me from all, she was like a covering So anytime I hear her stories I tend to tear up My big brother would say Mother was a fighter Single-handedly she took the baton and increased the pace And it was surprising as she could stop to tie up my lace Yet she won the race So incase you don't know; that woman cannot be replaced Listen, my big brother would say Mother is our guardian angel She guided and guarded me through to the level I have Attained She will scold yet clear my paths to get to the height I have obtained Mother's love is too big to contain Her love was unconditional Cos I remember when I went astray When I staggered away in life like a new waiter holds the tray And How she felt betrayed I heard how she'd pray for me everyday Pleading to God not to delay Least I fall prey And I remember I remember how she gladly accepted me and didn't turn me away. Hearing my big brother I realized how vague my love for her was This woman would actually do anything to see us safe I am me today because of my mom And I wish she's here to listen to my words But I know she's up there with a big smile Your stories lives in my heart Happy Mother's day Mom I'll forever love you
