She gave me warmth when I was cold even though she was freezing she gave me food when I was hungry sparing hers for me to eat
In the desert we walked day after day and night after night my mother, my uncle, his family and I her dream was to be able to come to this country and work hard for both of us to have a better life
Almost out of the desert the coyote told us what had to be done when I give the signal you run and run once you reach the truck you must get inside sit next to each other and side by side
When my uncle and his family got in the truck the coyote turned and said there's one more spot she looked at me sadly with tears in her eyes picking me up, she put me inside
Don't worry she told me I'll go on the next trip when I reached the U.S. I waited and waited but she never came because she never made it
I was only nine years old when I last saw my mother's face her body never found not a single trace
My heart was broken and I was hurt inside her dream was to come here both of us, not just I
