Your eyes see tomorrow with hope
And your hearts made of gold
Your minds are sharper than a sword
You are smarter than many we know
That is why you help children grow
You go where no one dares to go
Always there for the young and old
The backbone of many homes
Your boldness, words cannot describe
In the battlefield, you do not retract
When trials come shooting like rockets
Throughout the rough storms
In the midst of tough times
As stones are thrown at you
You neither quit nor shiver
You persevere until you overcome
You tirelessly protect others
You have so much power!
Yet, you never oppress the oppressed
You are filled with kindness
You touch lives, indeed
You truly care for those in need!
You conduct yourselves with dignity
Dignity that most wish to emulate
You are always aware that in a relay
You pass the baton with no delay
Only if we could run our race with grace
Just like you do
Whatsoever you put your hands-on
Has a way of blossoming
We acknowledge your value
Hence, we salute you, our Mothers!

We are the ones who carry babies for months
We feel anxiety of an upcoming delivery
We do our best to keep them healthy
We worry the most when they are thirsty
We rescue them when hungry
We are the ones who look after them, for the sake of their well-being
We ensure our kids’ lives are worthwhile
We find ways to provide optimum care
We are patient in seeing them grow older
Yes, they always run to us for cover
We are the ones who are called names when things go wrong with our children
But given no credit when they excel in life
We create conductive environments all the time
We bravely take the bullet for our loved ones
We brace raging storms on their behalf
We are the ones who walk miles
In search of better opportunities for our offspring
We sleep very late and wake up too early
We guide them to achieve great things
We say prayers for them to prosper
God was right to entrust women with childbearing because Mothers are so wonderful

To all the Mothers,
Who stand for what is right
They work so hard!
Never let the weather dictate
How they love their children
Always there whenever needed
Do what is best for loved ones
Yes, they guide leaders to reign in peace
Cry out to God to save future generations
As they plead for true liberation
A reliable source of inspiration
Not ordinary humans
But special women
Whom we call Moms
Fighters of hunger
Seekers of well-being
Promoters of longevity
Providers of stability
Pioneers of societies
Pillars of many countries
Teachers of morals and values
We pray for their blessings
And breakthroughs in all they do!
This is our special prayer for Mothers

For the great times we spent
For the beautiful memories we shared
For the wonderful life we had
For the light you shed
For the love you gave
For the sacrifices you made
For the smile you kept
For the fun you brought
For the valuable lessons you taught
For the value you added
For the amazing things you did
For the precious gift you have been
From the deepest part of my heart
I can never have ample words to say
Thank you!

For saving my life
When there was a plot to end it
For loving me
When I felt unloved
For treating me with kindness
When some were unkind
For standing by my side
When it was not easy
For providing support
When I needed you so much
For brightening up my days
As I faced dark clouds
For finding solutions
When I went through challenges
For offering courage
When I was afraid
For bringing me hope
When I was in despair
For showing me the way
When I went astray
For being able to pray
When I needed a prayer
For everything you have done
How shall I ever thank you?

I look back at a time
When I was too young to decide
She had the power to choose
If I could make it or not
And I had to oblige
The doctors told her
They had to terminate me
To save her life
She had to think fast
How she would live
With her conscience afterwards?
Knowing she had killed her own child?
She went on her knees
Until her prayers were answered
Through her kindness, I was saved
That is why I appreciate
Yes, I praise the God of Heaven
For giving my Mother the strength
To carry me to the surface of Mother-Earth
And not beneath it
A great privilege that I left her belly alive
I could have died
Before being counted among the living
I would not be part of creation
Nor exist in this generation
Would have had
My dreams suppressed
My parent’s freedom oppressed
My mission deprived
And her vision denied
So glad that all odds, we defied
Here I am, to fully testify
How precious it is
To be given a chance in this world
I am forever grateful
To my Mother who chose not to abort me
From the bottom of my heart
All I can say is, thank you, Mama!

This is from your dear Mother
Who expected you for months
Sometimes feeling distressed and exhausted
Though excited, from carrying another Soul
Eyes watched how she gained weight
Tummy bulging with time
Cravings shooting sky high
Conduct, a little bit unusual
She had many questions in mind
Said endless prayers for you
Believed God for a safe arrival
Hoped for your survival
Wishing you become a responsible human
And a respectable woman like her
The brightest without fear
Great in this world
When she saw your face for the first time
She embraced her treasure
Looked at you and declared
‘God bless my darling child’

I was blessed with a precious gift
Beautiful and sweet
God’s grand masterpiece
She brought me peace
And made me believe
So much in the Lord
My life is filled with joy
Through this lovely Soul
A beam of hope
I know she will grow
Become so great
Yes, I will be glad
To see her prosper
As she set foot on Earth
I pray with a sincere heart
Please, Lord bless my child

My child, you are favoured
In Jesus’ precious Name
Your blessings are in abundance
So, embrace your essence
Wherever you are
Keep moving forward
Yes, you must rise!
While there is still time
Make sure you shine
Feel the sunshine
Put on a big smile
Avoid what makes you cry
Never ever worry
You carry God’s Glory
As you go through life’s journey
Be spectacular
Straighten your crown
And know your worth!

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!

Great blessing of my life
When I see you smile
I realize all the time
How favoured I am that you are mine
Thank you for being on my side
My beautiful sunshine
Shining star at night
Bright light in the dark
You make my world a better place
And you bring so much peace
My strength when I am weak
For you, I stay on my knees
Wish you would see how it feels
As I walk on the streets
Knowing that you are a part of me
Of you, I am proud indeed
As a Mother, I still wonder
What I have done
To be graced with a special gift
Altogether treasured
My place of comfort
I know God has been kind
By giving me such a child
What more could I ask for?

I am here to walk you
Through this journey called life
I will look after you
Until you can do so on your own
I know you need my help for now
Yes, I assure you my lovely one
I shall hold your hand no matter what
Stand by you, even in the darkest night
Will ensure your days are bright
Indeed, the Earth can be so rough
Just like the ocean changes its tide
Fear not, for I will be on your side
With you, I will fly high
Until we go to the skies
And touch the shining stars
I will not let my scars
Stop me from being kind
To you my precious child
I will be there
Until the end
I promise you!

God of Heaven!
I am here on Earth
To follow a Divine mandate
Of being a loving Mother
I know I have no strength
To do this on my own
I pray for your wisdom
So, I can carry this task
Without a fright
As I raise these children
Please help me remember
I was never hired for this role
But highly favoured
To find myself in it
Hence, I acknowledge this privilege
Of being a parent to them
Lord, I lift my hands
And bow to Your Majestic name
I say from the top of my voice
Thank you, Father
For the priceless job of Motherhood!

God bless the Queen Mother
Grant her many years of life
We need her in our lives
Show her everlasting love
Cover her with power from Above
God bless the Queen Mother
A descendant of royalty
As she goes in and out of the city
To serve with loyalty and dignity
May she have serenity
God bless the Queen Mother
Whether down the valley or up the hill
In the battlefield, may she win
Please keep her still
As she honours your will
God bless the Queen Mother
Throughout seasons
Wherever she goes
And whatever she does
Let her be favoured
God bless the Queen Mother!

When a powerful woman departs from this world
She leaves behind a great legacy
While she rests in eternal peace
Because her entire life was lived not only for herself
But for countless generations to come
When a powerful woman departs from this world
Although her loved ones shed tears
They still look back and appreciate
As they affectionately remember
What she has done for them
When a powerful woman departs from this world
Indeed, the Mighty hand of God is seen
Through how she ran her race
Under Divine the Divine Grace
Which leads her to the Promised Land
When a powerful woman departs from this world
Her beautiful memories remain
Her wonderful contribution embraced
Her colourful name celebrated
By those whose lives she changed
When a powerful woman departs from this world, no one can dispute that she made her mark
