“My Mama,” written by Pragya Tomar, illustrated by Julia Ikokun.
I’m mama’s little baby. She loves to hold me tight. She gives me hugs and kisses. She tickles me just right. My mama is my sunshine; each day she makes me smile. And when I need a cuddle, she holds me for a while.
I’m never tired of saying I love her quite a lot. I think the stars in heaven that she’s the mom I got. I’m mama’s little darling; she’s my lucky charm. I’m safe right here with mama; her love keeps me warm.
She holds me in a blanket, up close where I belong. She knows I’ll soon be sleeping and rocks me with her song. Her melody is soothing; her voice is soft and kind. I drift from wake to dreaming; this thought is on my mind.
Of all the special things in life, the joys both big and small, my mama’s love truly is the greatest gift of all.
Do you love your mama? Our mamas take such good care of us, don’t they? I know I love my mama!
