Madre Nuestra

Thank you our mother
For waiting for me
I swear I still remember
Your tears as I left
I was so young and naive
I knew nothing

Not even if my dreams existed
If I would ever return
I hesitated at your door
Whether it was a mistake or a success
How good to see you so beautiful
And with your eyes open

I would dare to tell you
I reached out to hold your hand
I met many people
Some are my siblings
I left and the air was tight
I came back to breathe
They said you were asking for me

I celebrate having left
And that you can hug me
But for god's sake I ask you
Not to push me again
I don't know if you have it clear
I don't know if someone told you
I speak of love in my name
And in the name of all your children

I left and the air was tight
I came back to breathe
They said you were asking
I left and the air was tight
I came back to breathe
They said you were asking
You were asking for me
