Distance has grown leaving us behind,
For it has been a while since we hugged,
Your little girl needs her mommy,
When she is not living your life, on rewind.
You are who creates our bubble, our knight,
Saving us from the darkness outside thus,
But fighting your wars without an armor, ma?
Why didn’t you think of you before you thought of us?
You are my baby, as we grow old,
Funny how the clock reverses roles,
Making you me, and me, you,
But I can only want to be you, truth be told.
There in your battles so silent, the songs you sing,
Is the love that has seen it all,
I say what you mean - I love you, ma.
Because you too are my everything.
