My Precious Child

If I had pearls or petalites
Few emeralds
Countless tanzanite
Some diamonds
Sizeable gold 
And granite

So, if I had all of that
On my hands
All over my place
Signed under my name
Would that replace you?
No ways, not at all

You are a special being in my life
Positioned by God’s Divine design
A gift that I treasure
Oh, no! I cannot chase after fortune
I am the most fortunate 
To be your Mother

Yes, you make my days shine brighter
I embrace the bliss you brought along
Through you, I gained wisdom
Among other things in this world
You carry so much worth
With you I found wealth

That is why I appreciate 
For so many reasons
Throughout the seasons
We have been winning
Hence, I need you so much
My precious child!
