Dear Madre

Dear Madre
Hello for the first time I say to my mom, 
As I am lying down in the hospital bed, 
Telling her everything well be ok, 
She drops a tear as I sign the song she 
once sang to me, 
Telling me she is sorry for leaving me, 
She knows I don't have a lot of time,
So she say's something to me so I can go 
in peace, 
"Baby don't hate me for leaving you, 
Don't love me either, 
Don't think anything-just look in your 
heart,
Keep me there in till I'm up there,
To hug you for the times I never did"
I smile at her tell her to get closer, 
I give her a kiss in the cheek,
As I close my eyes she's the last person I 
see.
