Oh Mother...

Oh Mother

Oh mother I see you dreaming of your life
Like a fairy tale thinking of the things
Nothing that money could buy
For nine months you carried me tenderly inside you
You gave me the warmth and kept me safe
I know she has had a bad past
I hope and pray for tomorrow to be brighter
Hey mother holds those tears back
I see her keeping in all the pain
Keep your head high
You got us and we got you
And we will get this all through
So tired of defending her life
She could have lost it all and died
But yet she fights for the lives for her children
She was so young with an innocent heart
Doing all she could to give the life to her children
That none other could give
Oh mothers you will never grow older
Telling us that we are way tougher
‘Hold tightly the hand of your brother’
I’m sorry if I ever caused you pain
You know because deep inside it was all in vein
You were there at the start
And your still are here now
You were there in the morning
And you are still here in the evening
You have been in my heart and mind from beginning
And you will stay there everlastingly!

My mother, your mother, our mother
Stays always stronger
Don’t look back
Together we will get through
The pain and sorrow that you have been through
Doesn’t matter if you’re there or not
Because in the end you are still my mother
I thank you for everything that you have done
And everything that you still do
So I just wanted to let you know that
I love you!

Mothers you are very special and kind
And this is the reason behind
I say this just to make you smile
Forever and not just for a while
If life were without mothers
There would be no you or me
Thank you to God for creating us all
for giving us our mothers
so we can all stand proud and tall
She looks at me and tells me
‘Do not to let your future children walk my way
Or to hear the words I had to say’
I look in the mirror and investigate my face
Am I a spitting image of my mother?
We sit in the garden and breathe the fresh air
Think of the wonders and happiness
You shared the memory of when I was born
Told me the times when we had fun while shopping
Held my hand and walked me to school
I waited more than an hour after school for you
She sighed and played with my hair
She then came out with a problem
And everything fades away
I’m not sat in the garden but instead I’m in the rain
Not breathing fresh air but instead stale air
We never actually went shopping
Or neither did you ever walk me to school
It was all just an imagination
Tomorrow comes and goes what it brings is so poor!

My mother, your mother, our mother
Always stays stronger
Don’t look back
Together we will get through
The pain and sorrow that you have been through
Doesn’t matter if you’re there or not
Because in the end you are still my mother
I thank you for everything that you have done
And everything that you still do
So I just want to let you know that
I love you!
