Mtanami my child

I know I can’t give you the life you desire, the perfect life

But I promise to give you the best times

And laughter

I can’t promise you bacon and eggs everyday but I promise to never let you go to bed hungry

I can’t promise you fancy expensive clothes, but I promise to give you clothes to wear with pride

I know I won’t be there everyday for the rest of your life, because death is near

But I promise to be there as long I’m breathing

For a mother’s promise comes true
