Mom

Z.J. Ascensio
Things haven't always been perfect
But you did your best
Blind; trial and error
You raised us alone and gave all you could

Stop thinking badly of yourself
I don't; I admire you
I know it wasn't always that way
I didn't know enough before
But I've always loved you
Like you've always loved me
Now I see; now I understand
But even if I didn't, you'd still deserve the respect
You're a strong woman
You're a kind person
You're the best mother
