Grateful to God for this gift of love
A relation that dawned in your teens
An angel a mother begot
Left to me to care for
Blessing me from up above
For the best I did with reverence.
Each time you wish on Mother’s Day
My eyes brim with tears
So fast the years have flown
I’m mummy because of you
For the day you called me mummy
Still etched in my heart
For it takes boldness from a son in teens
With acceptance to call me mom
