Mum and Baba


Mum and Baba

Thank you

You've raised me and my baby sister

And we've turned out pretty great

But it wasn't without hardship

 

Mum and Baba

You left your country

Your family

Your home 

So that we could live a better life

 

Mum and Baba

Your paused your dreams

Took the best job offers

Endured financial difficulty

Just so that Brook and I could dress like the rest

 

Mum and Baba

It's now time for me

To leave home

and create my own destiny

I thank you both for creating this oppurtunity for me

 

Mum and Baba

You sacrificed for me

So that I could be whatever 

I wanted to be

My hard work and effort WILL make you proud

 

And it truly begins in this year

2020
