Madre Soltera
Arelys Henao
Single Mother
Today they call me a failed woman
Because I had a child as a single mother
A mother can be single or married
While a father can be anyone
It's my child and let no one suffer
If his father was a stranger
I will know how to respond as a mother
And he is content with a last name
You don't have to go to the church in white
To receive the gift of being a mother
Or go to the altar avoiding
That the current society points at you
My child won't be different
For not having known his father
He will have enough with me
I serve as both father and mother
Don't criticize single mothers
Rather judge those cowards
Who are brave to make promises
But weak to be fathers
Today they call me a failed woman
Because I had a child as a single mother
A mother can be single or married
While a father can be anyone
You don't have to go to the church in white
To receive the gift of being a mother
Or go to the altar avoiding
That the current society points at you
My child won't be different
For not having known his father
He will have enough with me
I serve as both father and mother
