I'm sad and feeling blue
Doing nothing but thinking of you.
I hope you can feel it too
'Cause I'm getting crazy; don't know what to do.

You're there and I'm here.
Year of not seeing each other,
The eagerness to see you goes stronger.
How long will I wait, another year or longer?

My heart cries when I see you on the screen,
For I cannot touch you or kiss you for real.
This really isn't easy for me,
But I cannot do anything so I just cry and pray.

Praying every night you'll come back again.
Hope God will hear my deep calling,
If that will happen I will surely be happy.
No more tears and heartaches, just hugs and kisses.

I came to this world nothing.
I thank you, Mama, for taking care of me.
I am so weak and can't stand alone.
Thank you, Mama, for helping me stand on my own.

Oftentimes I am stubborn.
Thank you, Mama, for making me a good person.
I seldom followed your advice.
Thank you, Mama, for your great patience and reminders.

I always stumble and fall.
Thank you, Mama, for believing me despite it all.
When I'm so down and almost ready to give up,
Thank you, Mama, for you're always there reaching out your hands.

Even now I know you're there for me.
Thank you, Mama, for that unbounded love always.
Even now I always disappoint you.
Thank you, Mama, for understanding me so.

With all the sacrifices you have made,
Thank you, Mama, for I never heard you complaining.
You chose to live in this world,
Shared your big heart and even helped us heal our wounds.

What a great mother you are to us,
Willing to give up everything just for us.
You're truly a hero for us,
A great mother, and we're lucky for that.

Today is your day, and I made this poem for you.
I know this is not enough to say how much I love you.
Never will I be ashamed to shout my love for you,
And that will stand even till my life is through.
