I can’t imagine the struggles you’ve had
How can you sleep when I’m in your tummy?
You had back pain because I am heavy
But you never complain, not even a word.
An extreme pain that you can’t explain
You are both nervous and excited
The time came and you made a push
Tears fell when you heard my first cry.
When I am asleep, you are catching a nap
And every time you’ve closed your eyes
I’m so sorry mom for I’ve opened mine
I know that you are feeling tired and dizzy
But you still wake up and manage to feed me.
“You are smarter than your classmates”
“You are prettier than anyone else”
“What do you want to eat my daughter?”
“Here’s a hot tea for your sore throat”
How can I not admire you for these?
It’s been years but you never change
Your role as a mother didn’t stop
Wrinkles are growing in your skin
But your tender touch is undying
You are starting to have white hair
But your beauty doesn’t have an ending.
Your blood is my blood
Your flesh is my flesh
I am nothing without your guidance
My existence is because of you
I will always love you mom, until infinity.
