One day, Mama stepped on a cobra
While playing in the farm;
But the snake moved away,
Doing Mama no harm.
One day, Mama slipped off
While playing on the roof;
But she was caught mid-air
By a monkey troop.
One day, Mama fell into the well
While playing with her friend;
But water soon dried up
And she stood on the sand.
One day, Mama's dress caught fire
While lighting a lamplet,
But before fire touched her skin,
It got put out.
Water, fire, snake, or accident,
Or any other danger,
Has never harmed my Mama
For her divine nature.
