Ah, But I Remember It Well

Dear child, I remember you were born
on Nov the 25th. a sunny day,
No the 26th. dear Mother, it was stormy,
Ah, but I remember it well.

You had the straightest brownest hair,
It was black and curly dear Mother,
Ah, but I remember it well.

That first day of school, how you cried,
You were home sick, Mother,
Ah, but I remember it well.

And when you gratuated from university,
I was the one who yelled the loudest,
I gratuded from high school and married,
Ah, but I remember it well.

You see child, I gave birth on the 25th.
Once they had you prepared, it was the 26th.
And it was one of the brightest days of my life,
Ah, but I remember it well.

Your hair was black and curly,
But I knew it would be brown and straight,
Look at you today my child,
Ah, but I remember it well.

Your first day of school, I was sick,
But I felt tears in your heart,
And as you cried inside, I cried outside,
Ah, but I remember it well.

 I was there when you gratuated, high school,
But I knew you would be the best,
Doctor, Educator, Counsellor, and Mother,
A family could ever want or need.
Ah, but I remember it well

So you see dear child a Mother knows ,
As she looks in her child's face, what's there,
A Mother feels in her heart, and is proud,
Ah, but I remember it, all so well.
