TO YOUR MAMA AND YOU

Never in my dreams and thought
Did I think I’d meet someone and be caught
…in the dilemma of a soul looking opposite my single life
Nursing thoughts of being a wife
Until I met you
…all thanks to your mother

II
So I celebrate she who gave you life
Watering you with care to ease my strife
I celebrate she who bore you through love and pain
To make sure your love my high trust gain
I celebrate she who kept you at her bossom
…to feed you manners to love and respect me to blossom
I celebrate she who toiled to raise you
Just for me
…before celebrating you

III
You
You who stand tall even among the tallest
I celebrate you whose resilience is unrivaled
I celebrate you who is so hot but modest
I celebrate your bravery for your open mindedness is unparalleled

IV
You are a conqueror, my knight
You are a worshipper, my priest
You are a great giver, my kite
You are a strong warrior, my beast
Kisses of flutters intuned
Nude-emotions are riches highest
Beckoning over a we unrestrained
…locking our reasoning
Into a sync
…to dance to the love right here
…right now
As we celebrate your birth

V
I will go all the yards
To parade all your beautiful teeth
…for an inspection of happiness
As your Commander in Love
…to explore all the beautiful holes of your dimples
On this day
…this day the world blessed me with you
…through your beautiful mother
