MY MOTHER - THE CROWN ON MY HEAD...

I'm a very fortunate princess...
I've a beautiful crown on my head,
All humanbeings possess their own crowns
But it's something no human has ever made.

I'm so proud of this asset...
'Cause it adorns my whole being,
If not for this precious God-given gift
The world would not know about me, a thing.

I depend upon this wreath for protection
It has nourished me from the time I was born,
I'm obliged to it for all it has done...
It is through this crown's care that I've fully grown.

I treasure and value this blessing most
It can never be replaced by any other,
It is unique in nature because...
The crown on my head is 'MY MOTHER'!!!
