My child, my light, Susan.
The road you walked was steep and cold,
Through shadows of the choices I once made.
I thank the Heavens for the grace we hold,
To see the brilliant dawn that shall not fade.
Though errors stained the path we left behind,
Your strength has triumphed, beautiful and kind.
Oh Susan Nyirenda, my beloved child,
I will stand beside you through the storm and wild.
As my mother shielded me from every blow,
I will guard your spirit everywhere you go.
Forever with you, my love will be your shield.
I see the wonders of the life you build,
No harm shall touch you, no sorrow find your heart.
With every vow of mine now fulfilled,
We stand together, nevermore apart.
Oh Susan Nyirenda, my beloved child,
I will stand beside you through the storm and wild.
As my mother shielded me from every blow,
I will guard your spirit everywhere you go.
Forever with you, my love will be your shield.
My precious Susan, my eternal song,
With you is where my heart will e'er belong.
