My Mother
I'm sorry for all my selfishness
I didn't realize all that you've done for me
You've always protected me
From that vast world with all its hatred and spite
And I, I only thought of myself
Even when I hurt you
I hurt you so much, a million times
You'd take me in your arms
In that dark corner
That became filled with your light
And you'd stroke my head
And whisper that you loved me
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Please forgive me
If I still have a pair of wings
Two pairs of wings
I would take you with me and fly away
Loving you…
Sitting by the window, all day
Thnking of you
Watching the days go by
I start to cry
I've tried to stop my tears, for years
But it never goes away…
I miss you, mother
Mother, I'm sorry for all those times
You went to the edges of the world for me
And, like a greedy fool, I only thought of rewards
From your strength and generosity
I'm sorry for all those times
When I was young, but thought I was older
And wise, and brave
I made so many mistakes, overestimating myself
But you always were there for me
Always forgave me
I tried to help brother for you
I tried to be strong, and love for you
But too late
I'll always protect you now
I will go anywhere to make up for my selfishness
So you won't need to fear
Because I love you, mother.
