My Mother

Some call you Pearl of the Carribean

Quisqueya,

Haiti

Other who barely know you

Have the audacity to call you a country

But I called you mother

My mother

You give me birth 20 years ago

On this land I call “home”

where

The sun is smiling throughout

All the year

Where the grass have only one color

Green

Nowadays it seems like

You’re unknown to them

I remember when they used to

Come at your door

Begging for a smile

Now they act like they never

Knew you

Worse even met you

But don’t worry mother

I loved you

I’m still loving you

And I

Will always love you

I know this past

Few months you have been

Missing me like crazy

But

Be patient mother

I will be back soon

I’m trying to get the knowledge necessary

So when I come back to your knees

I can rebuilt your picture

But trust me Mother

You My only friend

The only who truly loves

I will not let any other men approach you

For I saw what they did to you in the

Past.

I know some of my brothers made you

Cry but yet

You still loved them

hoped for them

prayed for them

In brief you did everything you could do for them

they never

Realize what you did for them

Your sacrifices

My hope is to do the best

I can to see you

Smile again

Cause you are my mother

And your smile is what

Will convince me that

I accomplished my

Purpose on earth
