To My Dearest Mom

I don't know what can I say
when words aren't enough
to pour my heart to you today.

So many quarrels we had
and things left unsaid.
I don't want a pinch of regret
to paint my heart red.

Do you know I'll always love you
even if we disagree?
I hope the best of life for you
for I know you love me.

Do you know I'm thankful to you
for letting me see the world
of vibrant colors, people old and new
how they grow and excel?

In this life, there's a million things
I want to change
but it will never be your loving.
Without it I'm deranged.

You've tolerated my tantrums,
always worrying because you care.
With all my heart, I thank you mom
for always being there..
