I imagine the depth of your labour
My soul is wounded when you shed a tear
Where you would never leave us in despair
Mother no love can compare
I am at the pit of grace because of the love you share
Your love is the thread that saves us from ruin
Let it unfold and form a tapestry
That is the fashion of all things good and true
I am thankful for your love and the union
The support and conviction that you have given me
You are proof that God exists
You are the fountain that heaven does miss
And in your arms I can reminisce
Thinking about the time before I came to Earth
I remember when we bonded in your womb
I remember the kisses before I went to school
You have been a giant
They say that 'woman' is a place for weeping
I say your heart is a jewel worth keeping
Home is in you where I go when the world is unkind
You are fair and open so that we do not go about blind
How can I express the worth of you
I dare not lest I go into a trance and get lost in fantasy land
You wake me up and tell me to stand
You teach me that being a man is reflected in the work of one's hands
In your comfort and presence I am free from any prison
If I am a slave I am naive for I have your promise
The promise that dreams are true
The declaration that prosperity starts on a day brand new
MAMA I LOVE YOU.
