I remember when in the early teenage years I discovered love songs: learn the letters of memory, sing the choruses and learn a little more about the life of the authors through the youth magazines… it was part of our lifestyle. I even allowed myself the license to fall in love with singers platonically, and over time I discovered that love songs could not only have pop rhythms, because it tracked the 'heavy metal', rock and even rap to discover that the feelings are in All sites
However in those moments I did not know that the purest and true love was yet to come, that the people who would give me the most beautiful moments of my life were not born. But I dreamed about them without knowing it, and over time I was surprised to realize that there are few love songs for children.
Although I have studied music, I am not good at composing, I leave that for my girl who has some very interesting skills to record melodies that are invented. What I do know is to tell you that if I had to dedicate a song to you: I would thank you for having come into my life and for giving me a thousand smiles every day regardless of my mood. I would confess that I do not imagine life without them, and that with them I have learned much more than in all the years that have passed before. I have learned to be patient and I have discovered that I can laugh out loud in the most sincere way, now I know that I am a more vital person and I have more energy, and it is also thanks to them.
I would tell them that whenever I have them very close and I can smell their skin, I look at their faces and close my eyes to always try to remember each of these intimate moments. I would be honest because although I enjoy watching them grow, I cannot help feeling a certain longing for those times in which I constantly held them.
I would remind my child that I will never forget how he has stroked my hair for years to be able to sleep, and that now I am left with his sincere hugs and his 'I love you'. The little girl would whisper in my ear that I will always remember her little hands on my face, and that nobody before had known how to cheer me up when my morale is low
I would tell you that I would like to always be with them to help them get back up in the most difficult moments, but that I will know how to stay out when they grow up and don't need me so much. I would tell you hundreds of secrets about life and about people you have not yet met, although I will also assure you that my words are only a guide with which they will write their own path.
Too I would apologize for the words I said and they hurt them, and by the screams that my throat has failed to contain. I would explain to you that the elders sometimes see ourselves overwhelmed and in those moments we choose the least appropriate reaction, but that we are always in time to learn.
I would finally assure you that I have been a girl and a teenager, and sometimes I know how they feel, but the rest of the time I will listen to you without judging your confessions. My life is now with them and I don't change any of the sleeplessness, the early rises or the worries about anything.
And these are only part of what my voice would tell them, and that it tells them frequently, because The love song for my children still has no music, but there are hundreds of beautiful words that flood their ears every day, and mine.
