is
shining
brighter
Oh,

Mama
Regina,

Let

Seventy

Seventy
candles
lighting
up
the
night
You’
ve
been
our
guiding
star,
our
only
light
Through
every
storm,
through
every
rising
tide
You
stood
so
firm,
always
by
our
side
From
the
early
days
when
we
were
small
You
caught
us
every
time
we’
d
slip
and
fall
Your
hands
were
busy,
your
heart
was
wide
With
nothing
but
pure
love
deep
inside
We
see
the
sacrifice,
we
see
the
care
The
answer
to
the
burden
of
your
prayer
Mama,
you’
re
the
rock,
the
foundation
stone
The
greatest
mother
that
we’
ve
ever
known
Oh,
Regina
Onuoha,
seventy
years
today
We
celebrate
your
life
in
a
special
way (
Happy
birthday,
Mama!)
We
shout
it
from
the
mountain,
we
sing
it
to
the
sky
Your
legacy
of
love
will
never
die (
We
love
you,
Mama!)
With
joyful
hearts
we
dance,
we
clap
our
hands
Celebrating
the
finest
mother
in
the
land
Oh,
Regina
Onuoha,
seventy
years
of
grace
We
see
the
heaven
reflected
in
your
face
Prayer
warrior,
you
fought
on
your
knees
Speaking
life
into
our
hearts
with
such
ease
When
the
world
was
heavy,
you
carried
the
load
You
showed
us
the
path,
you
showed
us
the
road
You
taught
us
kindness,
you
taught
us
to
give
You
taught
us
exactly
how
a
daughter
and
son
should
live
Your
wisdom
is
a
treasure,
a
fountain
of
gold
A
story
of
beauty
that’
s
yet
to
be
told
So
today
we
toast
to
the
woman
you
are
You’
ve
traveled
so
long,
you’
ve
traveled
so
far
But
look
at
the
garden
that
you
have
grown
Your
seeds
of
goodness
are
everywhere
sown

Regina
Onuoha,
seventy

More
