Behind all my pains,

You are always there to heal.

Behind all my failures,

You are always there to give me hope.

Behind all my triumphs,

You rejoice more than I do.

My mother, your love is overwhelming given without asking anything in return.





Before I speak,

You always know what I wanted to say to you.

With all my actions,

I want to show you how much I love you.

Dear mama,

My words are not enough to let you know.





For all my hurts,

you’re heart is broken twice as I do.

For all my fears,

You are always there to give courage to continue.

For all my dreams,

You’re always a beacon to push me through.

For all I accomplished,

I offer this all to you.





You may behind all of this,

But, without you I am worthless.

You’re words of wisdom are my strength.

You’re loving care is the life you give.

You are my everything,

My Mom, My Mama, My Nanay.
