Mother May I
When I am grown and full of things
May I be known as a beautiful queen
Just like you are so politically proud
Love spirited heart beneath cocoa breast of brown
That nurses faithful joy
Blessing someone every day
Giving praise to the Lord
Rocking babies baking cakes
May I give as much and live as well
Earn your tender touch
Of prophecy time will tell
And for many moons
Can my children maze
How natural beauty blooms
So true it never fades
May I live as to honor you
Mother may I be like you
