Queen of my Life

Beautiful is your name
Wonderful is what you are to me
Everyday and I pray for you
Queen of my life
You're so beautiful mama.
You're beautiful
Asa (So Beautiful)

I'm looking for a mother
Who has seen that woman
My mother has never been lazy
She has never been reluctant or tired

Because of her child
She suffered in her husband's house
My mother has never been lazy

English translation of the verse of So Beautiful by Asa.

My mother went through a lot after my Dad passed on. I was just eleven and I was the oldest child.

My mother was the only one. She raised us all by herself with her sweat and prayers. She denied herself of luxuries and necessities to make sure that we went to school.

I cannot count the number of sacrifices my mother made for us. She practically gave up her own life, working from dawn till dusk to put food on our table and send us to school. In a way, she died so that we could live. She gave us a better shot at life. Something she never had.

Our relatives would make comments about her, that she was antisocial and she worked too much. But few of them ever lent a helping hand. My mother hated to beg. She would rather work. She took pride in her trade. I love you Mum. Thank you!

I remember one Christmas day. My mother went to the market to display her wares. We were too young to understand why she would go to work on Christmas day. We grumbled all the way but we all had to go to work with her anyways to help out. When it was noon she allowed us to go back home so that we could celebrate with the rest of the family. But she stayed back, she did it for us. She came back late that Christmas night.

Now everything I can give to her is just a token of appreciation. I can never repay her for her love.

I decided to pick up my old dusty guitar and do a song for Mama. I'm going to send it to her. This is my entry to @surpassinggoogle's Untalented-mama contest.
