Mother

The rose that broke in two
and gave birth to me
The olive seed that was squashed
and gave the oil for me
The stars that fell
to hide my nightmares
The tears she shed
for every night I was lost
The wounds she took
for my grave growing
The lights she offered
The sacrifices she've done
The retreats she accepted
The pain she suffered
The love she gave me
Mother...
I am sorry... but somewhere in there
there is still a human soul left
to worship and love you
as a son should
I just wished I was a normal fool
to say thank you just for once
before I left you to cry again for me
