I Know My Mother
I know My mother
When My mother grows old and very old,
That she cannot recognize who I am,
she does not need to know me then,
I am the one to know who she is to me Then
I am the one to know what she has been to me Then
I will carry her in my arms like she did to Me
I will sing her a song and keep her company
I will wash her, Pamper her
If need be I will fix her catheter
I will never be ashamed
I will neither get tired
I am the one to know Her
I will not compete with my siblings as to who should care for her
I will do my part, My best, it can be done
It will always be My turn
I will never complain
My duty will be my mother
My responsibility will be my blood
Whose tears I I swam in
Whose Blood I'm safe in
Whose hands I formed
I know my mother
She does not need to know me
When she is old and frail
I will never fail to sail in her life
No love will come first before her
No place will replace my mother's space
In my heart she will reign
whether sunshine or rain
Through tough times to the end times
I will always know my mother.
