Sweet Mother! Sweet Mother!!Sweet Mother!!!
Sweet Mother! Sweet Mother!!Sweet Mother!!!
Suddenly my heart leaped within me
My eyes shedding tears in remembrance of the memories of yester years
Just like yesterday fresh and glaring was decade ago
In the midst of deep thought did my soul slumbered
Immediately my mind paved way for memories of yesterday
Every night my spirit morn you for the fear of what tomorrow holds
Then I smile, now I realize so I cry for tomorrow
Knowing how painful it feels without a caring and passionate mother
Just like yesterday I remember your tender touch and how you natured my infancy
even when I knew not my left from my right
Clearly and softly your voice echoed into my hearing singing and talking me to
sleep
You guided me through the turbulence of infancy
You stood by me in the midst of raging storm
When my spinal cord could not carry my body
You went starving for years just to make me survive
Night toppled nights yet you stayed awake to steadily steering at me to ensure
my safety
In your arms I opened my eyes day and night
Each time I stand to walk and fall
Quickly you rush towards me and pick me up
Whispering calmly to my hearing that you can do it son
But suddenly the greatest adversity rolled in like a thief at night
Snatching you away from me and left me hanging in the cloud to face tomorrow
all alone
Sweet mother! Sweet mother!! Sweet Mother!!!
I can not believe you gone so soon to the land of no return
In great pain and agony I itch my flesh to the bone screaming at the top of my
voice and pleading to see your face one more time
During the day I frown and dine in loneliness
But the moon appears calmly at night just like encouraging words telling me that
tomorrow will be better
Your words give me the strength to carry on in life
Pushing me from day to day
You are my treasure and my only friend
In my heart I keep the memories of you
Rest In peace dearest mother and let your soul find comfort in the heavenly
places with lots of love.
