Analysis of UGLY IS A MYTH
Bigirwenkya Hudson Ndahura 1997 (Kampala)
Mother, her own self she doesn't bother
To her children she gives a roof, and also their goodies she is to gather
Her children's education, she secures
With this determination, a lot she endures
To their world, she is to be mocked
To my world, her blessings are to be marked
Long live, Oh, my mother
With that much love, you are to be considered a father.
