Daria provides a video of a song from Africa, Here Come Our Mothers

Thank you for the times you listened
Thank you for the times you heard
You made me feel like I could soar
And sing just like a bird...thanks to you
Now I can stand tall
And I can stand true
You know it is
Thanks to you! 

Happy Mother's Day to all!
