My Mother's Words

I do not

give up

on my dreams.

I do no

sit

or sigh.

I work

hard

everyday.

Like my mother

i do not

cry.

I push

and push

just like her.

I go

until

i can't.

I try

so hard

to maker her proud.

Her words

forever

i will chant.

Do not

give up

on your dreams.

Do no

sit

and sigh.

Go work

hard

everyday.

Don't be

like me

and cry.

Push and push

until

you break.

Make me

proud

to call you mine.

You see 

my dear

i give and give.

I cannot

dedicate

to myself.

Because

for you

i live.

I Am My Fathers Daughter

Oh my daughter,
You will fall in love
With the mountains.
And the countryside
With its sunsets.

And when you travel the world,
You will come to find
That's where you'll always
Want to go home to.
Oh my daughter,
You are just like me.

It's Because of You

I was once a tidal wave
If you ever tried to stand before me
You would get knocked down
I was too brave for my own good.

Now I am like a river
I will constantly wear on you
Whether that's until you're smooth
Or until you are gone
Depends on how long you wish to suffer my abuse.
