Oh my mother, the nurturer of my soul.
You were always with me without fail.
You have loved me, cared about me,
Your blessings like the never-ending sea.
You encouraged me, inspired me
Your each prayer like each bead in a rosary.
Oh mother, how can I return all these gifts?

I may not be able to do everything for others.
I may not be prompt in executing my duties.
I may not excel in all the things I am involved.
I may not compete for a position in this world.

But oh mother, whatever I will be…
I will always lend a helping hand.
I will always strive for keeping a standard.
I will discover the hidden strength in me
And will channel it to prosperity.

Oh mother, whatever I will be…
I will be because you loved me.
