	The cock crows at the break of dawn 
 
the boy clings nearer to her. 
 
her eyes open with her mind 
 
her heart with her responsibilities 
 
her gender defines her love. 
 
i cling unto my mama cos she is my spine 
 
the ship that would carry me halfway in this dark world 
 
like your ancestors before you yearn to love 
 
oh my first love be blessed in 20 folds 
 
a picture can never do what mama can do 4 me
