Dear mother,
There are few things I got to get off my chest that began to bother
I know I wasn't always the best child
In my younger days I acted wild
Alway getting into some kind of trouble
But you always showed me love even though you struggled
I have done a lot of growing over the years
There where times where I'd run from my fears
Run from my problems
Only for them to come back and you'd force me to solve them
You where there when I hit rock bottom
Helped me get back up after I had fallen
Scared for me every time I walked out the door
Wishing I would just stay home and not go out anymore
But I was searching for the man I want to be
Like you said this town is to small for me
There's a whole world I want to see
So you'd always tell me just make it home safely
And all I'd say is I'm not going by myself
Then you'd tell me "just don't lose yourself"
Even though I didn't know who that was
You always accepted all my flaws
Forgave me for all my mistakes
Kept raising me, even though I gave you headaches
I don't know how you did it
Raised 3 bad kids, I'm impressed I'll admit it
The amount of love you gave had no limit
And that love you gave I'll try to remit
I'm sorry for the tears for me that you shed
That's what I most dread
But I'm doing good, I'm doing better
And I have you to thank for that so I wrote you this letter
With all my love,
Your Sun
