Mom, I thank you for everything,
For always tucked my blanket,
Cleaned all my wounds,
Sleepless when I got sick,
Cooked my favorite meals when I wanted them,
Taught me how to love life and the afterlife.
Little did I know that I take those things for granted.
Mom, you’re such a superwoman.
Your existence gives the invincible power,
That holds all of us together.
Mom, you haven’t saw the world you want to see.
You said you want to watch sakura,
I said I’ll get you to Mykonos too.
Mom, as you tirelessly told me: life isn’t all about career or wealth,
it’s about having a good attitude with a good deed.
But Mom, I just got here,
I haven’t been who you always wanted me to be.
Mom, did you know that people cried for you and always say good things about you?
From big families to juru parkirs, from leaders to Yakult moms.
Everyone shared your kindness and care, ensuring your good place.
Mom, you know you haven’t been a grandma yet, right?
We always wish the grandkids to get your touch and love,
Learn from your compassion and experience.
Mom, why did you go so soon, all so sudden?
I have so many untold stories, unsaid feelings.
This still feels like a dream I can’t wake up from.
Mom, how can we spend this Eid and every day going forward without you?
We love and miss you so much.
You will always be in our prayers.
Mom, I thank you for everything,
See you very soon.
