You Were Good To Me

I know love
I know humanity
I know peace
I know unity
I know God
I know the secret
I know life
And I know the heart
You were good to me

You read my mind
While investing
In my heart
Knowing your seed
You were growing
While believing with faith
And hoping to see
The fruits blossoming
You were good to me

You gave me hope
While building my faith
You opened my eyes
While giving me wisdom
You made me a man
In the mist of life
Sitting and praying everyday
For my day to come
Mother, you were good to me

You taught me love
And you taught me respect
Through your practice being in action
You made me to understand
And you showed me direction
While you were running your race
Leaving your footprints
In my heart forever
You were good to me

Seasons can change
And time passing by
But your love never expire
But to renew
As spring could chase summer
And winter overcoming the autumn
But you love stays the same
Sometimes the sun 
Nor the moon with stars
Could stand on your position
As it come shinning
But you’re present
Was more than reality?
As you’re absent
Says it all mama
You good to me
