“My Beloved Son!
Special appreciation from a wonderful Mother

Look at you all grown up
Kind, but tough
What an honour
To be your Mother
Truly blessed by your aura
You have done me a favour
By being part of my life
I am grateful that you are fine
May you know whose you are

As your loving parent
I make the commitment
To share essential lessons
That can help you excel
In the path that lies ahead
I hope you will understand
How you will get there
With joy, love and care
Please, lend me an ear
Of this, you should hear

Be grounded in the Lord
Pursue His Wisdom
Acknowledge His grace
Seek His ways all your days
So, when hail comes your way
You will not faint, but reign
Stand tall like a tower
Go higher and higher
Please shine brighter
My beloved son”

“Shine Bright

Take it from me
This life is amazing
You are the one with power
To choose what you desire
Please make the right choice
Do not just make noise
Have a voice
Which people can listen to
Be that special person
Who is known for solutions
And not for causing trouble
You have what it takes
To turn this world around
Let go of any self-doubt
Get out of the mud
Shake off the dust
Work hard, my child
Make sure you shine bright”
