I often contemplate my childhood, Mam
I am a mother now, and so I know
Hard work is mixed together with the fun;
You learned that when you raised me long ago
I think of all the things you gave to me:
Sacrifice, devotion, love and tears
Your heart, your mind, your energy and soul -
All these you spent on me throughout the years
You loved me with a never failing love
You gave me strength and sweet security
And then you did the hardest thing of all:
You let me separate and set me free
Every day, I try my best to be
A mother like the mammy you were to me
I Love You, Happy Birthday xx
