Tribute To All Our Mothers

I have long lamented that fathers are increasingly getting marginalized when compared to the love and attention that children shower on their mothers. However, in my life, it is my mum who has made me who I am. It was she who had struggled to keep the family in one piece when left to fend for herself and her children. Thank you MUM! Here's a tribute to all the mothers in this world. Were it not for you, we will never be able to be the persons we are today.

Mama thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times
I forgot

Mama remember all my life
You showed me love, You sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed
along the way, along the way

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
I miss you, I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong
Dry your eyes, Dry your eyes

And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
I miss you, I miss you

Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed
Along the way, Along the way
And I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you
Mama
