MOTHER

English translation:
You lost
What’s most precious to you
You were crushed
You were shattered

Even though, you persevered
Even though, you stood up
Even though, you healed

I look at you
I do what you do
You are my mother
I want to be like you

I want to stand like you with grace
I want to walk like you with grace
I want to walk with you with grace
I want to lead like you with grace
