Ummi

Ummi
(Mother)

Now I stop dear Ummi to think
Of all the things you’ve done
Of all the tears you’ve dried for me
And all the battles won
Of all the times my head hung low 
Without a friend to care
Now looking back 
I clearly see
It was you dear Ummi
Who was always there!
You never let me do without
You had my back without a doubt!
Without your tender loving care
My whole world I could not bear!
I love you with my entire heart
I loved you from the start!
I pray you know how much I care
Disappointing you I could not bear!

I love you Ummi!
