It's been one hundred days since I saw you slept
In a room filled with flowers smelling so sweet
When I called out to you your eyes tightly shut
But hinted a smile so slightly as a mother to her child
'Don't cry my dear I can no longer wait
If only I could I'd stay and meet my new (great) grandchild
My mind's still bright though my pain ravaged body's weak
My ife's slipping away but my dignity noone can break
Nothing to complain despite a life time of struggles
I've given my utmost best now my children do me proud
I need a quiet place to rest peace and calm is now complete
Be happy when you think of me it's what I want you to be'
But I miss you and my heart aches
Never could I imagine it like this
You gave me the gift of life and more
An education that opened many doors
I wish I had told you how profoundly you touched my life
And my gratitude to you eternally
Bless me with your strength and dignity
So I can carry on your legacy
My mother's daughter I will always be
