Entry #2
A mother's heartbeat is a child's first music
Her warm touch with calluses so thick
She worked hard for the dresses that I'll pick
My mother will do anything, even break a brick
My mother's love is my safe space, my home
She gave everything, her heart and womb
Supporting me with every step of the way
Encouraging me to speak up when I'm not okay
My mother flew to different nations to earn
But never failed to teach me things I need to learn
"Be a good person, is what I wish you become"
My mother told me, after what my father has done
She will trade her life for us, her children
She doesn't need a partner, doesn't need men
My mother is my father, a beautiful butterfly
Cause a mother's heartbeat, is a child's lullaby
