She carried me for nine months.

1

She made sure that I grew up healthy and strong.

She put me to bed every night.

3

She made sure that I woke up early every morning.

She took me shopping at the market.

5

And allowed me to choose my own shoes and clothes.

6

She counselled me whenever I went wrong.

7

I will never forget her love in my life.
