Dear Mama
Dear mama...
Can you hear me?
It's me, your child.
Don't ignore my silent voice.
I know it appears as a logical thing to do.
A typical trend for most.
But emancipate yourself from those cloudy thoughts...
Let them flee, let them drown.
Please don't let them hold your mind down.
For i'm a gift with a purpose in this world...
Not a mistake you can just dispatch.
I have a reason to live.
You don't know it,neither do I.
but If we can wait a little longer,
Perhaps we'll discover a lot i have to offer.
We will uncover the mystery that lie with my presence.
Once i put my print on the soil.
Don't cut my life too short.
Don't bring my young soul to rot.
Don't let me burn in this coldness.
But think of the smiles we will share.
When we take runs down the life's wilderness.
As the vivid sights of the world sink in.
I know i will be a handful.
Probably will delay you from touching your goals.
But all can change when i reach mine.
Like saying mama for the first time.
And taking my first walking steps towards you.
I might have been an element of surprise.
But i'm on my knees i beg of you,
Let mercy shine.
Be the hero i already consider you to be.
Be the mother you already are.
Let peace be the consequence of your actions.
Provide love, provide protection.
Even after daddy did the magic trick like the morning dew on us.
Or probably thought that this is his easy way out.
Let him be.
He doesn't wish to be a dad, he said.
Let it be his own fish to fry.
Be a bigger person.
Just accept and learn to love me.
In time I'll shine glitters like gold.
In time I'll be your bundle of joy.
With laughter I'll fill your soul.
With my presence I'll change your life.
Dear mama...
Once again can you hear me?
I know I'm just few cells, but can you feel me?
Can you feel my spirit pounding together with your heart?
Can you feel the zeal from me calling you mama?
Allow me to connect with you.
Allow me to become one with you.
Don't let your disappointments of today...
To deny us, our joined happiness of tomorrow.
Dear mama...
Please love me as I do you.
For with love comes joy.
