Mother
Mother
With what did I deserve your love
Your every tear
That you shed for me
And every sigh
Torn from your bosom
With what did I deserve
Your meek and kind eyes
Radiating only warmth
Every one of your embraces
Soft and warm
Full of countless roses
Your wide smile
From which sweet honey drips
With what did I deserve
Your kisses
Like white feathers
On my cheeks
Every sleepless night
When you would watch over me
Through rough and painful times.
With what did I deserve
Your love, Mother
Your every trepidation
Your every prayer
To God
But I was always
A miserable and poorly
Not once did I tell you
How much I love you
I often hurt you
And brought you pain
Now that I don’t have you
I would give this whole world
To just once more
To have your hand caress me
