Only One Mother - Unknown

-Dedicated to my boro mami (aunt) Nasima Khatun (1968-2007), may she rest in peace

You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true,
No other friend in all the world
Will be so true to you.

For all her loving kindness
She asks nothing in return,
If all the world deserts you
To your mother you can turn.

You can only have one mother
Please take her to your heart,
You cannot tell how soon the day
When you and she must part.

Let her know you love her
Cheer and comfort her each day,
For you'll never have another
When she has passed away.
-Unkown
