Mom
Mom,
I am what I am because of who you are.
I don't need to know
all the tears you shed,
all I know is they purified my feature.
I don't need to know all the rivers you crossed,
all i know is you didn't leave me to drown.
Mom,
i don't care who rejected you and i,
all i care about is that you are my queen.
Don't count for me
how many times you felt like giving up,
count for me how many times,
my existence kept you going.
I love you mom,
for you loved me first.
thanks for your love.
