My Mother said
Don't be afraid of this day
13 is a number only
And you Little One
Are a fact of living
My Mother said
Don't be afraid of this day
T'is another step for you
To explore all kinds of things
Don't be afraid of this day
My child
Walk towards it, straight towards it
Then, then the trembles will disappear
My Mother said.

If your right palm is itching
You are going to get some money
I always used to believe that
But it never happened to me.
So many times I had the palm itching.
But to my surprise
It was I who had to spend money
For some reason or other.
Now I am a mother
I never tell the tale
to my younger generations
It is only in the mind.

Green was an unlucky colour and she never wore
anything coloured green. Myself, I love the colour
though for years I had my qualms and nervously
would wear green until I clean forgot her sayings
and now I am a green and pleasant land lover of
all shades of green.
