If Words Could Ever Explain

All from the beginning 
Almost a year of pains 
All the early sickness 
Everything from sleepless night
To kicks in the stomach 
From nights of torture 
To nappy changing 
All the cuddling 
The joy of fist words to first steps 
Could words ever explain 
My gratitude.

All you gave me 
Unconditional love you gave 
Your undying love to date 
Through thick and thin by my side 
All the support and courage you gave 
But words could never explain 
What you really mean

House could never be a home without you 
Family could never be complete without you 
You’re a role model 
You’re heroine 
You’re everything

In my eyes nothing compares to you 
In my eyes your love and care is endless 
Because you’re the best 
Keep on mother As the saying goes 
'Mmangwana o swara thipa ka bogaleng' 
‘Mother grasps a knife by the blade.’
