In her womb I found home.
A home so safe,
A home so warm,
A home so beautiful.

In her womb I felt love.
A love so genuine,
A love so sincere,
A love so true.

On her laps I felt serenaded.
On her laps I had the best of sleep.
On her laps I had my first playtime.
On her laps I felt fulfilled.

My first few steps she encouraged.
My first utter she applauded.
My first song she cherished.

My tantrums she tolerated.
My clutter she cleaned.
My mistakes she corrected.
My offences she forgave,
My tears she wiped.

Time changed but her loyalty remained.
Days passed by but her sincerity was unshaken.

My weaknesses she concealed,
My strengths she projected,
My flaws she embraced.

Friends entered and exited but her friendship never wavered.
Heartbreaks kept me apart but her shoulders kept me closer.

In my thirst for adventure, her words kept me grounded.
In my pursuit of my passion, her support gave me success!
