Transparent by N, Acrylic and mixed media on A4 paper

​You are Maman, my mum
And I thank you for everything you’ve done
 
Mum, a wonderful woman among women
You gave birth to me
You have done everything for me to become the person that I am
The scientist I am today and the mother
Mum what can I give you?
 
No gold is more precious than your love.
No treasure compares to all that you have gifted me.
 
You are Maman, my mum
And I thank you for everything you’ve done
 
You raise me up in times of difficulties
You raise me up in times of suffering
What can I give you mum?
You are my role model
You are my precious stone
You are my root
You are my inspiration
Mum
Maman
I love you
Louise Marie
I love you
Mum of Betty, Nadege, Gloire, Falonne and Louise
I love you
I say thank you for everything
I would love for you to see what I am today
A good mum and a good scientist
 
I love you maman, mum
And I thank you for everything you’ve done.
