Dear Mamma,
I wrote this poem for you.
to tell you I love you,
I know I wasn't good as growing up,
but to you I'm always perfect.
I know you did everything to raise me,
and my brothers.
and I will be grateful for that,
I wish I can repay you but I will be owning you for that all my life.
you are the first woman I fell inlove with,
you taught to love but never to hate.

dear mamma,
this is dedicated to you for all you done for me,
how can I forget the sacrifices you did for me.
all my life I have been your student and you taught me to be best.
I know you made mistakes in my life and you wanted me not to repeat some of them.

dear mamma,
I love you and I'm sorry for hurting your feelings.
I know you want the best for me and my brothers,
my wish is never to disappoint you but to make you proud of me.
I know they say men don't cry, but you are my shoulder to cry on.

dear mamma,
don't cry I love you forever,
together we are family...
