Dear Mama,
Mama, I thank you.
My siblings and I, we exist because of you
live because of you
grow because of you
thrive because of you.
Mama, you never give up:
You light up the sky, brighten our lives
You run your fingers through our hairs, on our skin
You wave and sing, encouragingly, lovingly
But Mama, we forgot you
Mama, we lost sight.
And now you are crying
now you are seething
now you are dying.
Mama, I thank you.
My siblings and I, we broke you.
And now you are dying
But Mama, now we change.
Sincerely,
