dear mom,

Today feels tiring and difficult
Alone in my room hugging my pillow
Playing with my phone, like my heart
Today is just so lonely
Suddenly the ringing of the phone surprises me
"Have you eaten yet?" I heard my mom's voice ask
Though it bothered me at times, the words feel different today
And I see all my forgotten promises

I'll become a person with a beautiful heart
I'll become a person who thinks of others first
I'll protect the wishes from my mother's love
You who dreamed with me
The one who brushed my hair, I think of my mom

Despite the times I hurt you with my decisions
You still watched me without a word
Though I'm still a young and innocent child
I think I know now the meaning of your silent prayers

I'll become my mother's wise daughter
Wherever I am, I will be the daughter you're proud of
I'll protect the wishes from my mother's love
Using the endless love you have given me
I'll have a warm heart
Because I was too shy to express it
I really love you mom.
