Para Mi Madre

Hey, Mom
I want you to know how I feel
And wherever I look, there you are

Thank you so much, Mom
For everything you've done
You achieved your goal, I'm a man of worth

Do you remember, Mom?
Those times, tough moments
Money was tight, and eight kids looked at you hungry

But there was never a lack
Love was always there
In your arms, there was no fear or pain

I took some hard hits and couldn't move
But you lifted me up when all I did was lose
Now I’m in charge of this game called life

Finally, I'm winning
I've come a long way
I followed your wise advice

It's life, Mom, we grow old
Dangerous friendships, intruders
They tried to trap me when I was confused
But now I use the tools you gave me

So much strength, Mom, I don’t get how you did it
I just want you to know, God bless you
I’ll always agree with everything you say
You see, Mom, you’re my friend
