Dear Mother

DEAR MAMA We've come to tell you that we never forgot. Yeah, .. We never forgot you. In all you went through Trying to be a mother Trying to be a good wife Trying to be our teacher Trying to be our friend Trying to be the mediator Trying to be our motivator Still our cornerstone On your bended knees to pray for us Still our advocates before our father Sew at home with no designer name Dear mama, we saw it all From the frowns to the smiles From the pains to the gains From the freshness to the wrinkles From the flat belly to the stretch marks From the baby bumps to the backing From the scolding to the praises From the flogging to the prayers From the stitched to the new clothes From the uniform to Christmas wears From the welcome to the goodbyes From the visit to the leaving From the warnings to the accolades From your jerry curls to this weak grey hair Dear mama, through these all... We are grateful and determined to make you proud. Happy Mother's day to you my dear mother.
