Mah

I honor you,  I thank you

you gave me of your body

and then you gave me more

you protected me, you fed me

you held my hand and you led me

You showed me that I was special

You showed me that I am just one (wo)man

You showed me how we are all different

You showed me how we were all one

You taught  me the magic of sharing and how it fills your heart

You made me feel alright, way back, from the start

You gave me true happiness , then you gave me more

And when you had no more to give, you showed me how to hope.

you blessed me, you assured me

you taught me how to cope

mother

I honor you and I thank you
