She knows no joy when I'm in pain Even in pain she bore me And love so tender she offers My first love In the scorch of the sun she suffers And walks miles to trade her wares Was she born to suffer for my sake When she is ill, everything comes to a halt For she is the breadwinner All her hope is her children She sleeps on an empty stomach To make sure they are educated When at dawn the **** crows I know she wakes up in shock For her burden is to begin anew A real woman My MOTHER
Its often amazing the kind of love and affection bestowd on us by mothers.
