WW

{Mother Ma Mommy}

"...But you don't have to return the favor

A mother's love cannot be paid with labor

It's not your wish to be born in this world

You are my blessings from Our Lord

You don't have to do the laundry

Your hands are not meant for callous

You don't have to walk past my past

Just to learn

Experiences I've shared are not for you to try

I have paved the roads for you

To guide you to find your own paths

Now's your turn

Dark history keeps on repeating

Because we keep on doing

Same things without learning

Likewise, a mother who keeps on reminding

Over and over, again and again the same thing

To break free from the cycle of up and down

You must learn to do things originally your own

So when the society storms you, you will not be blown

Our world is full of false prophets saying:

"Don't work hard. Work smart."

What they call strategy

Is their greed for money

Yuck! Don't look up on them

But I've known many smart people doing:

"Working hard and thinking smart"

They are rare nowadays

Strange, the society betrays

Inspiring, I say, ehem!

Be rich in life, not rich in money

In a society sick of self-synthetic stress,

Poor are those who look at the money brought by success

Rich are those who saw the hard work nevertheless

Success can be defined in many ways possibly

While currency can only be defined by its quantity

Time will come when money will have no value

And all that's left will be just...you

By then, we will realize

Richness has no price

True wealth is gift from God

That everybody had

Green is the true gold

Nature unsold

Natural intelligent lives

Natural skills and talent drive

The worth of our birth

To take care of our Earth

From worldly denatures

Always

Work hard

Think smart

Naturally

Success and richness will come naturally."
