I made this video for my sake,
For sometimes I fail to appreciate,
These precious moments when I still can say,
That you depended on me in every way.
I now realize that I’m lucky this way,
That I have you all day in my embrace.
For someday this moment will be way past today,
When the world and your dreams will be yours to take.
Then you won’t have a choice but to forsake,
The mother who cared for you, so that you may,
Look for your destiny and make mistakes,
To learn to live and find your own way.
When that day comes, I will have to face,
Empty days without you when I wake.
But don’t you forget, I’ll be here to stay,
To guide you every single step of the way.
Looking back someday, I’d be able to say,
It’s a good thing I wrote my reflections today,
To remind me of my precious yesterday,
When once I was a mother to you all day.
"Thank you, Neo, for inspiring me every minute of every day."
"Thank you, Neo, for inspiring me every minute of every day."
