Nine months, preciously carried in your womb
So resplendent as a rose you abloom
Your care helps me groom
My idol, I cherish you
For your selflessness I survive
Famished, only for me to be alive
19 years now, strong, bold, I thrive
My idol, I salute you
Passionate you are with our dreams
In sports, my adoring sister creams
Victory calls, delighted your eye gleams
My idol, your love is solace
Life is impossible without you
You are always there my pretty boo
A lifetime best friend, affection so true
My idol, my role model
Women are excellent, yet you surpass all
Charming, cute, wonderful mama I call
Human who can never change at all
My idol, my first love
Please walk by her side oh Lord
Giver her continuous peace and blessings poured
So she may live boldly without being bored
My idol, stuck with me through good and bad.
