Maria

Nineteen years old, the world was spinning fast

You held me close and made a promise that would last

A single mother, learning day by day

You and I grew up together, finding our own way

You carried the heavy weight, always putting us first

Through the hardest seasons and the very worst

My Chula, my Queen, with a heart so wide

You fought every battle with God by your side

You taught me not to quit when the shadows fall

A patient, loving mother, you gave us your all

You kept on going, no matter the pain

My beautiful fighter, through the sun and the rain

You taught me it’s alright to let the tears run free

But always look to Heaven on bended knee

For Cassandra, for Bryan, and for me, you stood tall

A quiet kind of courage that protected us all

Your unconditional love is a light in the dark

A willing, strong spirit leaving a permanent mark

My Chula, my Queen, with a heart so wide

You fought every battle with God by your side

You taught me not to quit when the shadows fall

A patient, loving mother, you gave us your all

You kept on going, no matter the pain

My beautiful fighter, through the sun and the rain

God knew exactly what He was doing back then

When He gave us a mother who would fight to the end

You’d fall to the ground, but He’d help you stand up

Pouring out your soul just to fill our cup

And you still keep going, you never lose faith

Meeting every hardship with an endless grace

My Chula, my Queen, with a heart so wide

You fought every battle with God by your side

God knew what He was doing when He gave us you

A mother so willing, so brave and so true

We love you, Mama, more than words can say

Thank you from Veronica, every single day
