When I ruminate on the 4th day of January
Wedged in my cognizance a great pearly
Its not about ornament or trinket
But a great paragon so translucent
I speak of no bravura earthly other
Than my ebulliently gorgeous Mother
Nomenclated beautifully as Seleipiri
With a divine gist: God choose for me
For nine months I respired in her womb
Myriad of days I nourished from her breast
So saccharine like fresh honey-comb
While I cruised through infancy nest
Oh how I love you dearest mother
Your tender hands washed my skin
And offered to the world a delightful being
Your lovely bosom warmed me all night
As I snooze hearing your silvery voice
Making my petite heart in dream rejoice
Shed deluge of tears for me when sickening
Relentlessly imploring Heaven for my healing
While crushing down on bended knee
All for a scraggy bantam precious me
Am ever grateful to God Almighty
For a priceless benediction like you.
This comes to you on the day you were born
That you mean more than words can fathom
Happy wonderful Birthday Dear Mother
May your days on earth be longer
