MAMA, LISTEN TO ME

When I remember this,

I wonder why I do this,

I don’t respect you like this,

I’m sorry,

Mum, I’ve changed.

Tears almost roll down,

When you are down,

You made effort not to let me down,

Nine months in your womb,

You never threw me down,

I was borne well.

The pain you felt,

I feel sorry when I wrong,

Mama, hear me,

I say sorry,

Please forgive me.

Your love to me is precious,

Your kindness too precious,

Mama, I say it you’re special,

I didn’t know I’m not righteous,

I respect you now mama.

Mama, I will love you,

Mama, I will respect you,

Mama, I will treasure you,

Mama, I will be there for you,

Mama, forever with with you.

May God bless you mama,

Often miss to stay with you mama,

God give many days to mama,

Feel loved mama,

Love you very much mama,
