Mother's milk gave me suck
Mother’s fingers soothed my skin
The night kept mother awake
When baby was sour
And that was me

When she comes slip-footing through the door
she kindles me
like lamp cold lighted
And I wake up glowing
She put a spark even in Papa's eyes
And turns out all our darkness

When she comes sweet talking in the room
She warms me
And I rise up shining
Even at night time MOTHER IS A SUNRISE THAT PROMISES TOMORROW AND TOMORROW.
