To the woman that loved me before I was born To the woman that held my heart long before
it had formed To the woman who was left sleepless from dusk
until dawn With Weakness upon weakness for 9 Months long
Telling her self It would all be worth it soon... as she rest assured.
For when she finally made it through to that hospital ward.
It was love at first sight the second she saw
me
I mean she's the type that would give up her only slippers just to make sure that my toes
were warm.
See, She would always favour me despite the fact she always needed it more
She would wake up early every single morn To stand freezing in the cold, hanging up
the clothes that we had worn Standing at the stove for hours, cooking bowls
of food we would swarm.
And whenever we weren't home, her heart would be torn
I mean she could never ever sleep when ever we were gone
She would stay up all night next to the phone although we would never call
So she send me text messages please I can't sleep just let me know if your safe and secure.
And Whenever I was sick she would always know what was the cure.
I mean the love she gave me was the best medicine that was pure
A prescription of tea, honey, hand made lemonade what more could I ask for.
Alhamdulilah all praise due to the Lord You did it all for me and not once ever expected
a reward
I mean I still remember the nights when I was small
I could never go to sleep until I'd Call to you from out the bedroom door
3atini wa bawsini, Tuck me in kiss me please, and you would always be there for sure.
See The love you gave to me for all these years its impossible to ignore
I love you Ya Yumaa and I'm sorry I've never told you all this before.
I'm sorry for everything Mum, I'm sorry for it all,
I'm sorry for leaving you as soon as you taught me how to crawl.
I'm sorry for saying Uff every time you would ask me to complete a simple Chore.
It doesn't make me less of a man to wash the dishes whenever your your arms get sore.
I'm sorry again and again for all the promises I fell short.
And I'm sorry I can't give you the life you wish for.
the car you dreamt of and countries you wish to explore.
But most of all I'm sorry for all the pain that I caused
For The nights you didn't sleep and for all the missed calls
For all the fights we had and for all those broken walls
the dirty room with the messy floors And for the clothes that weren't packed back
into the draws.
And for all the sacrifices you made that I never once recalled
Like when you became my mother it meant that you had to move away from yours.
I know how much love her, and miss her and I know it cuts you deep like a sword
But if it was up to me I'd let you see her whenever as much as I can afford
So I promise to make it up to you and become the son you've always adored.
From now on,
So forgive me, Forgive me for for it all, Forgive me for everything I've ever done,
Ever since I was young Stupid and dumb
just looking to have fun
Dear Mum I love you, I love you
I promise to never put anybody else above you
And never let anybody come in between And Even if I get married I promise you will
always be my queen.
Because there's no words in this world that can let you know how much you really mean
to me
Nor is there anyway in this world that I could ever repay you, so instead I pray every day
for you.
that Allah shows mercy on you the same way you had mercy on me.
And I have one last request for you before you leave.
PLEASE.
Since Allah put Paradise beneath your feet.
Please ask Allah to Let Paradise be the place where we finally meet.
Amen.
