The pride of a mother is to see her child’s achievements
Even in your womb, you pray for me to succeed
The lullaby you sing were songs of great achievements
As you watch me drift into sleep
Saying prayers in soft voice into my little ears
Gradually you watch me grow
You watched every step I took
All the fall and rise never skipped your close observation
You trained me to be strong
You thought me to respect everybody
And fear nobody
You gave me quality education
But the best education I ever had
Was learning from you
You thought me well and told me
Every good thought is an opportunity
And it should be handled well
You watched me succeed step after step
Just like you watched the successful
Steps I took just as a little child
Your laughter is my strength
And your approval is my stamp
You are my pride
Just like I have made you proud
You are a gift from God
And I’m proud to be yours.
