I am a mistake

A mistake born in the morning of January 4, 2000

A mistake that has kept my parents together

A mistake that never wished to be born

Many will see my words as those of a depressed girl

But let me tell you something

I am a depressed girl, but

Don’t you embrace your mistakes?

I am a mistake that has brought an unexpected love to my parents

Yes, they may have been happier with another partner if it wasn’t for me

But at least they can learn from the mistake they made

I am the seed that innocently landed on a small home’s yard

I am the seed that grew with a crooked shape.

I am the tree that sits innocently

I am the tree that waits for the people whose roots were planted before me

To take me in their hands and conserve me

I am first sought as the mistake they wished they never had

But time made them realize that I was part of home too

The two people who resided before me protected me

The two people who resided before me cherished me

I was the mistake that was not cut down, despite their thoughts

I am the mistake that their Grinch hearts were able to take

I am the mistake who opened the backyard to three lovely trees

It may not be all fun and games taking care of four trees

But at least it is a responsibility that embellished love in their hearts

There are winters and summers where they cannot bear no longer

But we are a family that is not complete without the other  

I do not deny being the mistake I am  

As I am a mistake that paved the way for a love like no other

Mi familia, I love you
