How happy I am to be your son
And how lucky I am for me to have a beautiful mum and a caring dad
Now am a man of my own and take my own decisions
Yet I will never forget the time you both spent to raise me
The money you spent to send me to school
And both the insult you receive for my sake in the streets
When no one was there for me you both of you are always there

The best way my mum and dad says goodnight is with a kiss on my cheek
And when I don't get any, I don't close my eyes until I get them
And mum and dad always do say goodnight everyday even till date

Even when am not the best son, you both always tell me that am the best you both ever had
am always the last in my class yet you both still believe in me
my mum and dad are the best

Even when I can't read nor write you both gave me hope that someday I will
Today am a writer,thanks to you mum and dad


I know am not that man you both raise me to be but am quite sure I will be the best man you both  will be proud of

I love you so much mum and dad
