You might think it

  is the hardest time in life

I can only assure you there

   will be more to come 

This doesn't mean life 

   is endless pain

No no no, life is only full of surprises

   of twists, and of turns

Each time you experience pain

   like falling to the bottom of hell

You indeed grow taller

   to be able to see beyond the horizon

You'd say I know it, Mom

   no pain, no gain

But how can I get out of the pain

You still need to live it, Baby

   no shortcut in life, simple

When I was your age back then

   feeling sadness, I was told 

   to resist crying 

Yet I put my face in the palm and

   cried to my heart's content

Then I held my head high

   feeling stronger than ever before

Nonsense I never listened to and  

   aren't you proud of your mom

So I'd say to you today~

Cry your tears, for they are

   the purest spring from

   snow-capped mountains

Laugh your laughters, for they are

    the brightest sunshine through

    deep-dense forests

I'm actually happy for you that

   you are experiencing the pain

And you are expressing how you feel

   figuring what, who, when, why, how

Even feeling dumb and sad

   everyone does from time to time

It doesn't matter, because you 

   are the most beautiful and wonderfully creative daughter I have

YOU are the BEST, because

   YOU ARE YOU

❤️
