Mom

Rolling tiny pieces of paper
Pretend smoking them
A very innocent spirit
A childish behavior
 
A bit careless child
Who copies both of her parents
Before becoming a teenager
 
Wanting to be an adult faster
Regretting after 28 years old
Telling ourselves we have more time
After turning 18
 
Thinking of having kids
Afraid of being a bad parent
Of being less than you, mom
 
If we can turn back time
Where I discovered love
Where you taught me to say "I love you"
 
I wanted to tell you before
With my childish words
That there's no one stronger than you, mom
 
Fairly minor problems
That make you dream today
My dreams today are big
And make you dream, mom
 
I stay awhile longer
Hoping to stop time
To have you still by me, mom
 
You made me a woman
You taught me strength and calm
You taught me that men
Leave in secret when women are sleeping
 
May the stories of princesses
And the princes on a white horse
Not love as much as you, mom
 
If we can turn back time
Where I discovered love
Where you taught me to say "I love you"
 
I wanted to tell you before
With my childish words
That there's no one stronger than you, mom
