Pretty little kiddo
with pretty little hands
with pretty little eyes
Please always stay with mama.
To my everyday life, you are the vitamins who gave me strength.
To my every trial and hardship in life, you are the Yin and Yang who gave me power.
When I'm afraid of the dark, you hold my hands.
When I'm afraid of the dogs, you shout at the dogs.
When I'm hurt, you tightly hug me.
You told me to be brave, that you were afraid there would be a time
That you can't be there for me
You're a clueless pretty little kiddo.
Mama hated the idea so much
Mama is too afraid of that thought.
I'm afraid the time will come when you will ask for someone other than me.
Like a root that reaches the land.
Sorry if I became selfish, even though I hated to become one.
Sorry if I almost locked you to the world that I made.
That moment when I first hold your little hands
That moment, I promise you
You'll be my life, my world, and my everything.
This poem is a letter for you.
My pretty little kiddo
Pretty intelligent kiddo
I know you intend not to ask me, even though you have a little knowledge.
About your real family, your birth mom.
Every year on your birthday, I'm afraid and nervous.
Every year, I'm afraid you'll ask about yourself.
When that time comes, I don't know how to face you.
How I wish I could take you to a world where we are the only people who exist.
I'm sorry if I intend to be a baby in front of you.
I want you to feel that you don't need me more than I need you.
I want you to know that I need you more than you need me.
I love you, my pretty little kiddo.
