Wake up, wake up, my dear child
The wind blows so slow
Like any other spring, peaceful anf mild
5 have passed away by now, you know?

When others ask how you are
I simply hide myself with a smile
To speak those words, I don't dare
Was your sacrifice really worthwhile?

I remember that date very clearly
The day when you started "sleeping"
You left me all alone, lonely
It was just the start of spring.

Yet I lost you, "not forever" people say
That girl you saved comes here daily
To see you when you will turn okay
If I hate her, will you hate me?

If someone ever grants me a wish
I wish "That day's victim was someone else"
You may hate me for being selfish
But nothing else is in my mind's mess.

I don't believe in heaven, hell or Gods
But I do believe miracles happen
I know how low are the odds
In many a sunshine and rain.

Everyday passed like that
Dwindling, the light of hope
Despair darkened everything existant
Maybe, I should just start to cope.

But then, the fated day came
The day which was no longer in my calendar
I heard your voice, dull but the same
It took me a moment to be sure.

"Mom!" Those were the first words I heard
Like that time you started walking
Like that time you spoke your first word
Today, the most memorable spring
