You can claim
That they are all the same
Or try to compete like a game
Who has the best mom
But there's only one name
That comes to my brain
Who deserves a spotlight
But by no means vain
Even when she's on a cane
with age and pain
She'll still be the symbol of power and beauty
Simple, plain
And I know you remember
My words and verse
In perfect pillars
But there's more
To her
Than just the 31st Proverb
Maternally speaking there is no better match for me
Being the first child,
I could not have been easy
Or breezy
It makes me quezzy to think Cover girl
Is what girls aspire to
If only they knew
The hero that made me
Saved me
Gave me life
Gave me my name
I can't imagine having a child so insane
Big headed alien child
But she saw only saw beauty
And potential for miles
Potential for smiles
When she tucked me into bed
She taught me my proper A to Zed
And when the haters started flocking like vultures
She taught me to stand up for my culture
And keep my head, highness
Kill em with kindness
Deal em with mildness
Don't be over righteous
She taught me to use my eyes
And appreciate nature
I'm so glad my dad found her
She's smart and she's wity
Not so keen on the city
And it sure is a pity
How few moms are this grity
Hard worker, it's true
She fed my mind books
And filled my tummy with food
Even when she's crude
She doesn't tolerate rude
Whoop me into a mannerly respectable dude
And bilingual too
It must have been hard
New country to start
With your first baby boy and
You don't want to neglect
And you don't want to spoil him
So you stuck with cheap developmental toys and
Got creative and clever
No the cardboard wasn't grievous
The simple stuff was what turned me into a genius
Or at least an extraordinary fetus
But you taught me humility
Before I dared to fall
And that any man who know anything
Knows he knows really nothing at all
I know that I'm just another man with a mom
But this truth is your, tight, right, da bomb
Mother of Madness
And you can hashtag this
Call me mommas boy
I accept it with gladness
Pushing me in the cart
At the grocery mart
Don't forget how proud
I am and how smart
You raised me
As your little helper
Even though now I'm taller
And I know I test your temper
But trust that you've made me a happy camper
So the only applicable joker
If she goes it'll be bitter sadness
Beijo, ti amo, Obrigado
Mother of Mine
