Across a hundred oceans

Along a thousand miles

Around the coastal region

Down the river Nile

I searched but couldn’t find

One that came close to your kind

If ever there was re-incarnation

A chance to live life with another

I’ll be set for damnation

If I have you not as my mother

Coz mothers are dear

Mothers are rare

Mothers are jewels that can’t be shared

Mothers are priceless, more like pearls

But you, mum, are the queen of all pearls

And if I could order for my kind of mother

If I could order for a million or two

Again and again I’ll order for you.
