You carried me for so long

How you took care of me, doing no wrong

I was you’re princess as you held me in your arms

 Protected me from all sorts of harms

You breastfed me and I grew so strong

How you thought I would do no wrong

Years past and I grew tall

How on earth did I create such a big wall?

There was a point in our life we grew far apart

All those silly little arguments, I hope you never took it to heart

You’re my mother who carried me for so long

How could I treat you so wrong?

One night, I remember lying awake in bed

A small voice in my head came to me and said

“While dealing with strangers, the common courtesy one uses, but a mother one loves, one seems to abuse it”

So I pray till this day, you’d forgive me for all my wrongs

Since you carried me for so long

I no longer walk on my knees

I am a young woman,

A woman you raised with such ease

“You would find happiness, love and respect. A life rich and full without any regrets” is what you always said to me.

But now I know

You are my happiness

You are my love

You are the woman I so deeply respect. 

Because I have you, my life is rich and full with no regrets.
