A legacy of Love

Somewhere on the path of life, I’ve made mistakes
Sometimes, life doesn’t offer a second chance
I am sorry I failed you, to be your mother in this life

I wouldn’t doubt once, to become a source of life
Even, if it cost my own life, I would gladly offer it for you
My womb, blessed would be, to hold you in my arms

Silently, the music of my heart, brings tears to my eyes
I dream of a time with you, to prepare you for this life
I would love to know, I made a difference in your life

Oh, my children! Life has deep waters of sorrow and despair
Trust in God and remember my teachings to reach safety
Your life has no traits now; it is my duty to take you to wisdom

Because it is in wisdom, the keys of this world hide
Just get up! No matter how many times you fall
In the determination to do so, you will attain success

Live life with passion, it is the vehicle of courage
Feed on good knowledge, it will bring you closer to God
Become men and women of ideals and great compassion

Listen to your inner voice, guiding between right and wrong
Have confidence in yourself, even if the world doubts you
Walk among evil, touch lives, and still be of virtue

Discover and excel your God’s given gifts and talents
Be of service to humanity, instrument of God you are
God is looking after you; keep your faith in Him at all times

Danger, misfortune and injustice challenge the world
Do not participate. Don’t contribute to poverty, slavery or war
Even, if you possess abundance, don’t ignore the pain around you

Oh, my children! Like the sun blinds my sight
I can only imagine the beauty of your spirit
I n my heart you live, I will never let go of you

Life is a mathematical equation of actions, wants and deeds
Be the governor of your flesh, master of your soul the creator is
In the word of God, you will find the clues to the map of life

Live, learn and grow from every experience
This is the testing time, for eternal life
Repentance from your faults, will show you the light

Life is not about winning, preparation is the purpose
When the sun becomes cold to the flesh
It’ll be time to depart and march to the light

Oh, my children! I might never hold you in my arms
I might never become a source of life
Please forgive me, so I have failed you

No beginning and no ending, my love has no limits
I dream of you in my arms, I see your beauty
Mommy loves you…oh, my children!
