My Mama

They say that love at first sight
Does not come with any delight
I deny that with all my might
As the day I first saw light
And my mama's face came right
I felt a fey that I couldn't fight

On that day she took my hand
and with her strength I did stand
took me to school to go and fand
What she knew would later demand
I really cried out loud with a rand
but somehow I did stay in the land

How she endured my puberty nuisance
While every time giving me some guidance
Is no way that I can find the balance
That I can pay her for her tolerance
But as long as I am still in existence
I can promise her a blissful allowance
