Mother, You have nurtured me And taught me your ways Because of this and more, I will not forget you. Sitakusahau. But Mother, I am now of age. The world is an open stage And I am ready to do my act Far away from you. Yet I will not forget you. Sitakusahau. Mother, I will speak of you With love and pride. I will put into practice All that you have taught me. I will not shame you. I will not forget you. Sitakusahau. Mama, Ninakuheshimu. Ninakudhamini. Ninakushukuru. Ninakupenda. Ninaenda. Lakini Sitakusahau. I will not forget you. Written October 9th, 2001 © on Oct 08 2001 08:35 PM PST, Mildred Achoch   18 • 0 • 8
