Sometime before I was born	A
I found myself in some sort of cage	B
I wanted to be free and so I kicked sometimes	C
Finally after months my mother brought me forth	D
	-
Soon I was one I still couldn't chew one thing	E
I was hungry and I cried sometimes	C
But there was this someone who always knew what to do	F
There was really no milk as tasty as my mother's	G
	-
Like a farmer patiently waiting for it's plant to grow	H
She watched my unsteady head night and day	I
And who could play when I wanted to play	I
Or smile when I giggled my mother would	J
	-
I'm big enough to talk walk and go to school	K
Who would listen to me when I practiced to read	L
Who would hold my hands when I wanted to join the dots	M
Faster than my tiny legs can I would run to my mother	N
	-
At one point or the other I fell sick	O
For one reason or another I was weak	P
But many a times I got better	N
Because I had someone I could call my mother	N
	-
Teenagers are tough or at least that's what everyone says	Q
But I don't think she sees me that way	I
My body is changing I need to learn to cook	R
I'm glad I have a teacher my mother my mother	N
	-
Like mother like daughter I'm about to be a mother	N
The least I could do was to give her a grandchild	S
Hold your baby with both hands bathe him with warm water	N
This is the way to do it right says my mother	N
	-
And so the cycle of life starts all over from the top	T
As the egg hatches into a chicken and a chicken lays an egg	U
It's my turn to take the baton from her	N
Perhaps my mother has done all there is to be done	V
	-
She never got paid for wiping my nose	W
Or for praying for me to bloom like a rose	W
She nurtured me fought for me and yes she flogged me	X
And in ways I can never forget my mother showered me with love	Y
	-
This hero this role model this teacher	N
This angel I love more than words can say	I
This woman who sacrificed many a precious moments in her life	Z
So that I could have them in mine	A2
Is Mrs Emelda O N my mother my mother	N
