I’ve been busy growing up
Chasing all my dreams
Wanting to try all what life can offer me
~*~
Until I realized
I left your side
I was out on my own
And it’s been a long time
Since I last sat down with you
Sharing some tea while we talked about the birds and the bees
~*~
I miss the homemade meals
And the conversations at the dinner table
The warmth of your hug whenever I catch a cold
Later on I noticed your hair have all turned gray
Your teeth have fallen too
Your back is now bent
And your skin is all sagged
You lost your agility
But your eyes didn’t lose their sparkle
Where was I all this time
That I failed to notice that time quickly flies
You’re getting weaker each day
~*~
I should have known better
And spent more time with you
While you can still hear me and look me in the eyes
Unlike now, you have shut your eyes
But in your lips remained a smile
Though I regret not spending enough time with you
I am grateful for all the things you did
You raised me well and taught me a lot about life
I wish you can see me for what I have become now
I know you will and you can see me better from where you are
Thanks to you mom, I owe you my life
I am who I am now because you’re my mom
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY…!
