I am a mother and a wife

I wonder what my children will do in life

I hear bells ringing

I see angels singing

I want to see my children grow old

I am a mother and a wife

 

I pretend I am a great cook

I feel like I can conquer the world

I touch clouds in the sky

I worry about the world my children live in

I cry when someone I love passes from this life

I am a mother and a wife

 

I understand that I must be a grown-up

I say that life is too short and everything happens for a reason

I dream that one day I will have grandchildren

I try to do what is best for my children

I hope to live a long and happy life

I am a mother and a wife
