Dear Mother

I have 
thought of a 
way for 
paying you 
back
I wanted to 
wipe away 
every tear in 
your eyes 
since the day 
i was born 
but the 
world does 
not have 
enough 
toilet papers 
nor tissue.

I wanna see 
you smile 
laugh 
everyday 
but not even 
the funniest 
comic will be 
able to do 
that.

I'll just ask 
God to 
borrow me 
the sun just 
for a day so 
that it will 
keep you 
warm, 
happy and 
smiling.

I'll move 
mountains 
just to 
protect you 
and make 
sure that the 
won't be any 
other tear in 
your eyes.

I'll keep on 
collecting 
every piece 
of love with this 
big bag of 
mine so that 
i will give it 
to you.

I'm sorry for 
every pain 
that i have 
cause,sleepless 
days you 
have had, 
party and 
get to gather 
you have  
missed 
because of 
me.

I want to be 
just like you 
to my 
children and 
even better if 
i can. I 
couldn't have 
asked God 
for a better 
mother
