You kept me safe for nine months in your belly,
You did all in your power so that I was born healthy,
It must’ve been tough to carry me all day,
But not once you complained or sighed in dismay,
I think…
When you first held me, your eyes filled with delight,
Well, for all I know, you shut them with all you might,
That would be mean, but what can I do?
You were the one, who always cleaned up my poo,
I think…
You taught me to walk, you taught me to read,
You stopped me from eating my very first bead,
You taught me to be kind, you taught me to be nice,
You were the one, who hushed all my cries,
I’m sure…
You sent me to school and made sure I learned much,
I learned history, the Brits, even the Dutch,
I learned geography, English, sociology too,
I aim to succeed, and it’s all for you.
