I want to take this time to tell you how I feel inside
To let out all the feelings that I've tried to hide
I have so many things that I want to get out
So many things to talk and cry about
You came to this land in search for a better life
But all you found was suffering and strife
Your dreams and hopes were too far away
Your once blues skies started to turn gray
You had to walk the path of hard work and sweat
While others had their whole planned out and set
You toiled day and night, just to get by
Sometimes I heard you break down and cry
I never appreciated what you had done
All I wanted to do was play and have fun
Yet you sacrificed a happy life for my life ahead
I chose to be arrogant and greedy instead
I despise myself for the way I treated you before
All I could think about was more, more, more
I wish I could go back and punish myself for being so bad
I wish I could wipe the tears from your cheeks when you were sad
But now I realize the sacrifice made for me
I've opened my eyes and can finally see
I am so grateful and will always be in your debt
I will hold it in my mind and never forget
I will make you proud of me someday
I will brighten those skies that are gray
I can never pay you back for what you endured
I can promise you though, that my success is ensured
Because my motivation will never die away
No matter what people do or what they say
You are my motivation and you push me along
To keep on going and to always stay strong
When I'm older I promise you a better life
No more suffering and no more strife
I will give you the life that you wanted so much
I will give you your dreams that you couldn't touch
As long as you are happy, I will be even more
That is my duty; that is what I will strive for
So please know that I will surpass your expectations
I will overcome all the trials and situations
If I had a wish to take, I would wish for your prosperity
As I end this dedication with the humblest sincerity
I dedicate this to my parents, my heroes, my motivation
The greatest people in my life, my influence and inspiration.
XOXO
