Mothers Love
I owe you the stars
And I shall bring you the moon
Your love for me is greater than mars
I hope to see you again soon
I cannot see the love you have for me
I cannot touch your words
But I can feel what you extend to me
I can hear what is unheard
I will go to the ends of the earth
To protect you for all of time
You’ve loved me since my birth
Dear mother, I call mine
There is not much I can do
To repay you for your undying love
I can say I love you too
But it doesn’t feel like that’s enough
I promise that no one loves you more than I
And when I don’t say it, it feels like a crime
I will travel across the entire sky
To say I love you, just one last time
