THANK YOU MAMA

Thank you Mama
For the beautiful dresses and clothes I get
You sewed them with your own hands
I’m wearing them as if my Sunday’s best

Thank you Mama
For helping me make my homework
Especially summaries of long stories
You made me study rather than lurk

Thank you Mama
For believing that I am intelligent and witty
You won’t allow the grade of seventy-nine
You made it changed to eighty-five instantly

Thank you Mama
For letting me join in role playing
As early as 1st grade as I can recall
I played doctor with a patient dying

Thank you Mama
For teaching me how to dance
Because of you I felt so beautiful
With the costumes and stance

Thank you Mama
For teaching me how to speak freely
Declamations, orations, poems, etc..
I could utter all the words heartily

Thank you Mama
For scolding one my 4th grade classmates
He throwed a stone on me while playing
Leaving my face and right eye in disgrace

Thank you Mama
For letting me manually scrub the floor
You told me it could make my legs strong
Scrubbing from the living room to the door

Thank you Mama
For letting me run errands
It made me very responsible
Industrious and never ignorant

Thank you Mama
For watching over me when I had measles
My fever is high and my body is trembling
You’re there until the sun’s shine ceases

Thank you Mama
For welcoming me in your humble abode
For treating me as one of your daughters
I will always love you until I grow old
