Be Humble Like Your Mother
Be humble like your mother
All I needed was happiness
All I wanted was us to live with love
I remember when I use to visit you at home
I saw the happiness in your father
He is always a happy man
Cos I was not blind to see how your mother
Was so nice and respectful to him
She always attends to his needs
She never call him out in public
She covers his low financial level
Cos it was obvious that she earn better
Yet it was hard to see
I never see them fight each other
Despite their old age
She is always by his side
What a good woman
Be humble like your mother
I was hoping on the saying
Like mother like daughter
So I wonder to ask
Why are you different
Please make me be like your father
Tell me all it takes
I will humbly do them
You always tell me you love me
But your actions don't match this words
I wish you be like your mother
I wish you can learn from her
I wish you have her similarities
This will be better than a stranger
So I ask you respectfully please
Be humble like your mother
