My Mother

O Mother! My mother
Thy love has made me strong
Each passing day, my humble pearl
Think I of thee, O fairest friend
For in those days when I wanted help,
Thou came by
It was all I needed;
Someone to share those forbidden days,
And in whose eye was a reason to live.

Mother! Mother!
Thy love has made me strong

This one is very nice, Ingibo. It's wonderful to see such love of a mother from her child.
