Who carried you for nine months
Through heartaches and pain?
Who sheltered you,
And gave you a name
Who rubbed your tummy
And dried your little eyes
Who said baby it’s alright,
Every time you cried?

It was me; it was me all along,
It was me that stayed there with
You when everyone else were gone.
I did all I could and
Gave you as much as I had,
It was me which God gave,
Strong arms to last.

It was me that whispered to God,
To heal your body and strengthen
Your mind, it was me that cried
Out for you each and every time.
With God help it was me that
Clothed you and kept food on the table,
It was me that did this
As far as I was able.

It’s still me, and I will be
There until the end,
I am not only your mom,
But also your friend.
May be you didn’t have name brand
Clothes growing up through your
Life, but I know I taught you well,
And I know I raised you right.

Now you are a man,
And I can shout it loud
I can shout it from the roof top,
Because your mother are proud.
Remember my son, and never fail to see,
That in your life it was always me.
