Behind all my pains,
You are always there to heal.
Behind all my failures,
You are always there to give me hope.
Behind all my triumphs,
You rejoice more than I do.
My mother, your love is overwhelming given without asking anything in return.
Before I speak,
You always know what I wanted to say to you.
With all my actions,
I want to show you how much I love you.
Dear mama,
My words are not enough to let you know.
For all my hurts,
you’re heart is broken twice as I do.
For all my fears,
You are always there to give courage to continue.
For all my dreams,
You’re always a beacon to push me through.
For all I accomplished,
I offer this all to you.
You may behind all of this,
But, without you I am worthless.
You’re words of wisdom are my strength.
You’re loving care is the life you give.
You are my everything,
My Mom, My Mama, My Nanay.
