I remember crying nonstop …
Time to get up … for lunch!
Following closely our routines of college or university
Crushing our heads with ideas of equality.

I remember further back time
When I was cleaning the kitchen
Or am I forced to cook
Your toasted rice perfect it is the best son … I read nonstop

I remember telling their college exploits
Where equal rights used to fight
And to my corner or let me walk
And in an intense embrace, kiss me one day saying he used to understand

The big memory when I went to college
And I value my toasted rice to make new friends
When I clapped my skills of self
Only my mother could think of …

I remember battling cancer
With a smile and saying
A dining room for street children
In this house I will open!

I remember consenting to my son
In the midst of his terrible illness
He always doted no matter the pain
Which slowly killed her

I remember her in her bed, when I said …
We commissioned our family unity
That is your task now that I’m going to go
Help your brothers and be strong in adversity

I remember when his last walk
To the garden where it would be his final resting place
Its street children he saw the carriage approaching
I started singing …

But now I remember
that my son my turn educate
When I say … you must learn to sweep and cook
Someday you’ll go to college only.

I remember when I
That someday my child will go home
I touch my chest
And I stop mourn

I remember in time even further back
When I was a kid and listened to the words
More tender in the arms
Mama.
