The day I opened my eyes you were the first i saw,
The day i started speaking you were the person i called first,
The day i started writing you were the one to hold my hand,
Yes Mum, you were my first teacher.
You taught me to be disciplined , you taught me to be wise.
You praised me for my small victories in school,
You scolded me for every wrong i did.
You taught me love, compassion and you, only taught me tolerance.
Yes Mum, you were my first Philosopher.
You told me how beautiful i am,
You called me 'My pretty girl' whenever i felt awful,
You told me beauty lies inside the heart, you made me impeccable.
You taught me to appreciate almighty's creations
And find beauty in most worse looking things.
Yes Mum, you are the most beautiful as you make me feel beautiful.
You guided me to be myself,
You taught me to love myself and others,
You taught me giving and feeling satisfied with, little i have.
You inspired me to live my dreams,
You encouraged me to take family along with,
And to be with them through thick and thin.
Yes Mum, you are the best Team Leader in the world.
You felicitated me with rewards when i scored enormously.
With your love i improved notches by notches throughout life.
With your strong faith, i came out unharmed from every problem.
With your strong will, which runs in my blood i will never stop.
Yes, Mum you are my backbone.
