You remember when I was little you took me in your arms,
Making me feel that I was still strong,
Small steps that I was taking, at the first day of school when you walked with me in,
You let go of me, smiled and waved, for you knew I will be ok,
But I kept looking making sure u were still there.

You remember when I was at school,
Everyday you taught me, how to make a nine from a six,
Never did you say to me, how much do i have to teach more! for you always encouraged me, for whatever I scored,
You showed me you were the best from everyone that I had known,
Since I was little I had known, who I wanted to be like when I was all grown.

You remember when I got hurt, and got a bum on my head,
I showed it to everyone, but no one seemed to have cared,
And then you came home, and said ‘O my darling daughter how did u get that?’
You caressed me and loved me, and that day I knew,
So lucky I was to have you.

You remember, when I told you that I wanted to work with you,
No you said, don’t come behind me,
If you want to become something stand on your feet,
So mad I became that day when you said that to me,
As it was always my dream to be just like you had been.

You remember when I asked you what did you want me to be?
No expectations you showed to me,
Just looked around and said to me,
How you had always wanted to study,
That day I thought, I would fulfil all your dreams.

You remember when you came in the graduation for me,
Can’t forget the sparkling eyes of yours that I had seen,
And as I walked down the aisle for the degree,
Taking small steps, I still turned back, with you looking at me,
I knew that day what you had expected of me.

You remember that you never said to me,
But I knew always what you wanted from me,
And that day it became clear to me,
Of why you had said 'I don’t want you to follow me',
You wanted me to be independent and now I realize what you had meant on that eve.

You remember on my wedding day,
When you hugged and kissed on my forehead,
And you whispered in his ears, ‘Always take care of my daughter my dear’,
Tears dipping down my eyes, for I realized only there,
How much I will miss you from that day.

But you remember the day when I was born,
The nurse came and told you, 'you have a baby girl',
The tears of joy I can still see,
I will never remove your name from me,
And I will always love you unconditionally.
