Wrinkles formed in her forehead,

Those wrinkles are now permanent .

Her soft hands that used to caress me, hold me, take care of me, wash me, dry me, And clean after me,

Her soft hands that used to caress me, hold me, take care of me, wash me, dry me,

And clean after me,

Have hardened as she aged.

Have hardened as she aged.

From the day she had me, the day she thought she lost me, the days she witnessed me accomplish something big or small, and the day she looked at me and found I grew, Her eyes weakened,

“ You don’t know anything about me or how I feel!”

Words that cut her heart deeply, yet still as deep as they were, she was able to forgive me.

And when anyone hurt me, even before my own, her hands were the first to wipe the tears off my cheeks.
