Dear Mother (Vida)

Oh dear Vida (mother)
Unlike any other.
This is for you
because I was brought to birth by you.
You taught me how to walk
when I couldn't talk.
Due to divorce you became the head,
That's what I heard.
But it's true;
Because of what I passed through.
I don't remember the date,
but I know you didn't have a mate.
You bought me a toy
when I was a small boy.
I was always slow and late
but you bought me a slate.
You always feel my heart with joy
when I'm even annoy(ed).
You always listen to what I say
This always makes my day.
You thought me a living
and how to be giving.
You raised me with the Bible
when I wasn't able.
I just wrote this for you
Just to say I love you.
