All these days I took you for granted
Never realizing how much you care for me.
Never thought a day would come when you would go away
Never in my dreams did I see.
You are going away now
But in a few months you will be back
We will miss your sweet, encouraging words,
And your cheerful face we'll lack.
Life has been hard for you
But you faced all challenges with a smile
We could battle through all troubles
Because you were our strength, all the while.
I want to lay my head on your lap
I want to sit right at your feet
I am waiting for the day when you will return
So that from your gentle hands I can eat.
Ma, you will always be in my prayers
I want you to know that I love you.
Even though we may be far apart
You will be in our hearts forever through.
