[hometext] => It's Mothers' Day! I celebrate my Mom, my Queen and my priceless jewel. This also goes out to all the beautiful mothers out there.
[bodytext] => My mother My mother When I was small and numb So soft she watch me cry When sick and I can't express She never left my side Weeping for fear I might die Praying to God I'm spared Oh my mother She never sleeps Always found toiling There when I'm awake Still there when I hit the pillows Mornings she combs my hair Singing me motivations So i feel the joy of schooling Oh my mother So magical it seems I always saw food in my lunch box I wonder how it remained constant Like I always speak with a genie Never tired of meeting my needs Oh my mother So harsh she becomes sometimes Just like Psalm 23 Her rod to correct Her staff to guide Her words the staff, her spanks the rod setting my brains to default Anytime like a PC it crashed Oh my mother Always there listening to my rants myriads of complaints Never weary of my quests Never tired of my troubles Oh my mother Her smile my comfort Even when she cried behind doors She still shows her beautiful teeth Smiling like there are no pains Just to make me feel fly. Oh my mother From her good desires She choose depravity In exchange for a good life for me oh my mother Once she raised her voice Looking into my threatened eyes She broke down afterwards Feeling she hurts my feelings I could read her mind Oh my mother Never remembering her care At puberty I became unruly She cried at my insensitivity Stopped the rod Stuck with the staff A lost sheep to be brought back home Awwwn she loves me Suddenly I'm a grown up She told me about her struggles Felt her pains like siamese twins connected by brain. Just like Tupac I finally understand it ain't easy for a woman trying to raise a man Oh my mother So many women in the world So few the 'mothers' Praising HIM I've got the best Oh my mother I love you from the abyss of my heart You are one in a billion My priceless jewel A Queen who raised me Teaching me to treat my wife like a princess oh my mother Trust me Mom I'll always keep that smile on your face. I pray to the Supreme each day To bless and keep you for me So I can pay you a million folds And make you smile till your hairs turn grey and death do us part. *plugs ears...
