Today, I got angry at my little girl.
I raised my voice. I even raised my hand.
And now, my heart is aching more than I can explain.
She’s just a child, my blessing, my little goddess.
She smiles with stars in her eyes, trusts me with all her heart,
And yet, I let my stress and tiredness win for a moment.
But you know what broke me completely?
Just a few minutes later, she came to me…
holding her tiny stomach and softly saying,
“Mommy, I’m feeling hungry.”
No grudge. No fear. Just love and need.
As if nothing happened.
As if her little heart had already forgiven mine.
Parenting isn’t easy. Life throws so much at us,
work, worries, unspoken pain…
But our children don’t deserve the weight we carry.
They deserve love, patience and soft words.
I’m writing this because I need to say sorry…
not just to her, but to every parent who has ever felt this regret.
It doesn’t make us bad. It just makes us human.
But we must keep trying… to be better, kinder, softer.
Tonight, I will hold her tight.
I will whisper a thousand apologies with my tears into her tiny ears.
And I will remind her, again and again,
that she is loved more than anything in this world.
My dear little one, Momma’s princess,
You are my light, my peace, my blood 🩸
My heart walking outside my body.
Forgive me when I fail.🥺
Know that I will always love you, with all that I am.
With tear filled eyes. Mommy…

Your lyrics are a heartfelt confession of a mother experiencing deep regret for a moment of anger towards her daughter. It expresses the immensity of her love, the purity of childlike forgiveness and the constant struggle to be a better parent in the midst of life’s difficulties. It is a poem that resonates with the human experience of failing and the longing for redemption through love.
Fraternal greetings.

This poem truly touched the depths of my heart, Suma. It brought back a memory of a time when my mom bitterly scolded me for being a little too naughty. But instead of going away, I clung to her wiping my tears with her stole- and in that moment she began showering me with kisses. It’s these tender, natural moments that deepen bonds. So don’t feel apologetic, just shower your love. God bless you and your little one 🙏💐❤️

Oh Suma, my Princess and Queen to your daughter. You truly embrace the truth of parenting and it hurts us more than it does them. To be human is to fail and to apologize is to teach forgiveness. She still thinks you can do no wrong. Some day she will know that but for now basque in that and I so remember the time I wasn’t angry but no words helped my daughter and I thought I’m going to see if this works and I slapped her in the face and I just felt horrible and never did it again. It pained me more than her. My mom ran after me with hangers to swat me but I was too fast. If nothing more, we get a good chuckle out of it. You are an exceptional mom to your sweet princess. Sending love to you and your sweet daughter. 💗

This is absolutely heartwarming and beautiful. Thank you for your honesty, it takes real courage to admit those hard moments, especially when they involve the ones we love most. Your daughter coming to you without anger, just love and hunger, says everything about the purity of a child’s heart.
I also see this as a metaphor for my inner child. Sometimes I get so angry at myself, overwhelmed by stress or expectations, and I forget that there’s still a little girl inside me who just wants to feel safe and loved. Your words reminded me that, just like our children, she doesn’t need perfection, she just needs kindness, patience, and softness. Thank you for sharing this. It spoke to more than one kind of motherhood. ❤️
