Madre

I would sacrifice everything

for you to have a better life.

for you to have my dreams

my freedoms

I would give you my burdens, my tears

my passions

if that meant you had the chance 

of being happy … 

the ability to choose. 

because i view my life as worthless

when you view my life as a dream. 

and i know your heart can handle my pain, 

for you have conquered mountains 

and crossed borders

i wish i can give you my heart and life to you 

for you to have that other chance.

i choose you everytime. 

- tu hija
