your love was unlimited
one I longed for and you gave
when they pushed you are
with no inhumanity
you held by your left hand
with your right you fought.
you stood strong for me
from your breast you fed me
three times even more
when I inherited his looks
you still smiled like it was nothing
you sang the song
playing the harp
told me stories though you cried
an extra mile you did all things
your love was influential
the sleepless nights I remember
to woods you picked herbs
infused them to treat me
with scars from thorns
in the cold nights you covered
me to warmth
you stayed by side till morning
when you had no money
inferior jobs you worked
sometimes with no payment
but you your hand to give
a life you couldn't give yourself
letting your dreams die for me
you are one of a kind
I love you Mama
