I met you 7years ago
Meeting you on that day completely changed my ego
I wondered on that day if you were a Negro
But I knew at first contact that our relationship will be like none before........................

Mama
Mama
Mama your demise just seem inappropriate
Making me begin to hate
Myself for been such a weakling because i still shed tears anytime i remember that you are late
But what can i do than to take the unfortunate incident as fate
Mama its four years today and i still can’t understand why i am in such pain
Everyday i wish to see you, but it seems i am just doing so in vain
It pains me the more when i think that your presence in my life has begin to wane
Despite all the effort i put with each passing day to keep your memory alive so that i can remain sane
Because i know for the rest of my life i will have live with this exacerbating pain
Mama the ideals you instilled in me for the 18 years i knew you it’s so overwhelming
The percept’s of life you created in me over those years is so amazing
Anytime i lie down and the memory of those happy times came rushing in
I can’t help but start smiling and by reflex tears will begin rolling
And then i will begin praying for you until sleep comes knocking
In those entire years mama you were simply the best
If all the best mothers were to be lined up i know you will come first
A strong pillar you were to us all, especially when we were facing this life’s test
So many beautiful qualities you had that i know i can beat ma chest
Anywhere on earth and say you are the best
Mama i know you made mistakes, so i pray to the Forgiver to forgive you
Mama as you had mercy on us, so i pray to the most Merciful to have mercy on you
Mama you blessed all we did, so i pray that the most Blessed shower his blessings on you
Above all mama may al-jannatul firdaus be your final abode and we are also praying to come there and see you
Mama if i am to say thank you, it will seem i am ungrateful to you
Because i know i owe you a debt i can never repay and gratitude i will never forget
May your soul rest in peace mama, till we meet to part no more
