nEVER CAN WE REPAY

Written by:
Aydarus Alhabshi

Once we were babies
So helpless and small
Lying on our backs
We couldn’t turn at all

We couldn’t even speak
Yet somehow you knew
You held us tight
every day and night

You feed us
You wash us
shelter us
Protect us
Care for us
Teach us
Play with us
You love us

Now as we grow
We need more and more
Larger clothes and shoes
Bigger desk, chair and room

School fees, books, Uniforms
Haircut, clinic, supplements
Toys, trips, holidays
Never can we repay

You spent on us
Sacrifice
You never count
Most Sincere
The Best for us
Allah’s choice
My mother
My father

Thank you for all you do
May Allah reward you
Thank you for all you do
May Allah bless you

We love you,
yes we do
We thank you,
we really do
we owe you,
in every way
never can we repay
