My dearest child, I thank you
For the strength you gave to me
For the things that I always do
For the world that you made me see


I am woman, now I know
A mother that cares and love
Perhaps if you hadn't come and show
All the flaws are what I have


What really makes a real woman?
If you bear a child for nine months
And rare him to be a strong man
Without thinking of your needs and wants?


It's been so long since I saw you
Like a tiny thing before my eyes
So weak and frail, I never let go
Of the chance that I could see you rise


Look at us now for five years
I am now a proud woman
With you I share my laughter and tears
My little hero, my dearest son


One day you will understand
All things you have to know
In this world just hold my hand
For I will never let you go.
