I didn’t know happiness
until I had you two,
to have something so perfect
so small, so delicate and true.
The pleasure you bring into my life
I cannot express enough
The cuddles, kisses, the looks you give,
are filled with utmost love.
Your personalities are so different
yet at times you are the same,
your innocence and laughter
enforces that my aim..
is to give your lives full of meaning
to live for every day,
and to know i’m so proud of both of you
in each and every way.
I know you both resent me,
for the life we left behind,
but mum was very unhappy,
and herself she had to find.
We’ve had our trials and tribulations
our problems that some our way,
but remember mum is here for you
every second, come what may.
They say love is unconditional
between children and their mother
experiencing parenthood is such a gift,
this love is like no other
This poem is for my children
whom I love with all my soul,
my existence belongs to you two,
and through you, my life is whole.

Lyrics:
My son, it’s my pain unbearable dear
to see you as xerofyllo wind
in life chased turning
My son, did not hear your devious father
drifted and day by day
Being twenty years old and yet grow old
My son, what do you expect, my IP
in a muddy road
you’ll be always like a tree uprooted
without destiny, without sun and sky
My son, my yearning to Reflect
Come home to sweeten your wound
My son, my son, how I hurt
My son, it ‘s my people cruel dear
the lords it ‘merchants of war
and laugh when we tear rolls
My son, do not think anyone my beloved
as though your friends rejoiced, my God
that You ‘ve now fallen so low
