Desculpa, Mãe

Forgive me after so long
Why I hurt you that time
Forgive me for so many setbacks
That my rebelliousness caused you

Sorry, my mother
For not saying thank you
Sorry, my mother for not knowing how to thank you
Sorry for the lack of respect
Sorry this son of yours who grew up

I remember that soup on the dress
And that spoonful on the nose
I remember that fall on the sidewalk
And that accusation so unfortunate

Forgive me mommy for trying to make you look foolish
How foolish I was when I tried to deceive you
Forgive me for so many wrong paths
Sorry this son of yours who grew up.

Time passed quickly
And despite my flaws, I ended up becoming someone
Your heart was not in a hurry
Knew that I would find myself

Now that I found myself, I look for the mother I had
To give her a grateful and belated but happy kiss
Forgive me mommy for the immense delay
It takes a lifetime to understand what it means to have a mother...
