It Was You, Mother

Years ago, I cried after being delivered.

Someone comforted me,

taking me close to the chest.

It was you mother.

I was unable to sleep, coughing all night.

Someone was awake with me all night,

taking care of me.

It was you mother.

Last night I encountered a nightmare.

I shouted someone's name,

and I escaped.

It was you mother.

Always and forever it was, it is you mother.
