How shall I repay thee ?
For the kindness you rain on me
I have done you no good
Yet ! you place my needs above thee
How shall I repay thee ?
For the sleepless night you had
To comfort me to the hand of sleep
Even though I was a little crying monster
That over shadow you with stress and headache
Wringing out every bit of peace that reside in thee
Yet you refrain from showing me an exit to the trash can
How shall I repay thee ?
For nurturing me a seed
To a sprouted leaf
to a full grown fruitful tree
Amidst the wild herbivores
that spreads around
How shall I repay thee?
For the word of Wisdom You vomited
That sailed me through the tempest of life
How shall I repay thee ?
For the care you showered un stopping
Dear Mama
Had I know of no God ,
I would have taken you a goddess to be worship
