Dear Mama,
I wanna thank you for everything
Your love, your sweetness
Everything you do for me
For us
For everyone around

Dear Mama,
I was only young
I could not fathom the constant bickering
Between you and dad
You always seemed to leave the house
I would wonder how
You would get home at 3am
On your own

Dear Mama,
I realize now
You're getting sick
Sick and tired but
I hope you're not sick of me

Dear Mama,
Depression is killing you
You work overtime everyday of the week
No breaks, no nothing
Still not enough money to raise this family

Dear Mama,
I know you do everything you can
To keep your children alive
I don't know how to show
How thankful I am for words cannot explain
This feeling

Dear Mama,
I know I don't tend to show how much I love you
I'm sorry
But I don't know how
All I know is
I loved you yesterday
I love you now
I'll love you forever
Dear mama
