Bwalya,
today
I
say
thank
you,
For
the
precious
gift
that
God
has
given.
A
beautiful
baby
girl
is
here,
And
joy
has
filled
my
heart
again.
When
I
look
at
this
little
angel,
I
remember
the
mother
I
loved.
Though
my
mother
is
gone
from
this
world,
Her
memory
lives
on
in
my
heart.
Bwalya,

Bwalya,

Natotela

You
have
brought
me
joy,
you
have
brought
me
love,
God
has
blessed
us
from
above.
Bwalya,

For

In
my
heart,
I

my
mother's
memory,
A
precious
blessing
to
our
family.

Bwalya,

Bwalya,

For
this
gift
so
beautiful
and
true.
Though
my
mother
rests
in
God's
hands,
Her
memory
will
forever
stand.
Oh,
Bwalya,
may
God
bless
you,
May
He
strengthen
you
and
keep
you.
May
this
daughter
grow
in
wisdom,
May

walk
in
favour
and
in
grace.
Today
I
celebrate
your
kindness,
Today
I
celebrate
this
life.
Thank
you
for
this
precious
daughter,
May
God's
goodness
fill
your
life.
Bwalya,
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart,
thank
you.
This
little
girl
has
brought
back
beautiful
memories
of
my
late
mother.
She
cannot
replace
my
mother,
but
she
reminds
me
of
the
love,
the
legacy
and
the
precious
memories
my
mother
left
behind.
May
Almighty
God
bless
you,
protect
you
and
bless
your
daughter.
May
she
grow
to
be
a
woman
of
wisdom,
peace
and
greatness.
Bwalya,

Thank
you,
Bwalya.
May
God
bless
you
and
your
baby
girl.
