Never forget your mother’s love

She struggles and strives for you alone

Clothes on your back. Shoes on your feet

Do you not remember how you have grown?

 

She struggles and strives for you alone

Whipping up chicken curry to fill your tummy

Do you not remember how you have grown?

She even clapped at your terrible acting, saying, “it was funny!”

 

Whipping up chicken curry to fill your tummy

Never complaining, always on her feet

Pausing to clap with you saying, “your funny!”

How her back must have ached, her body bone-tired

And yet every morning she wakes up just to hear “mummy”.
