Um Milhão de Vezes

Nine months you carried me, waited for me, and prepared the house for my arrival
Thirty times you wished me happy birthday and didn't need Facebook to remind you
Sixty times you gave me expensive gifts even when you couldn't afford to
And about a hundred times every year you took me to school and picked me up

Two hundred times you cheered for me in the game even when I lost just to cheer me up
Five hundred times you gave me the right advice even when I didn't want to listen
Nine hundred times you handed out my business card everywhere
And about a thousand times you spoke well of me to anyone who would listen

Two thousand times you blew on my wound, caressed me, and eased my pain
Five thousand times you filled my lunchbox with the most delicious meal, made with love
Ten thousand times you put food on the table and would go without eating for me to have
Twenty thousand times you forgot about your life to take care of mine

Fifty thousand times you prayed for me to arrive home safely
And only slept when you heard me come in
You can tell the same story twice
You can ask me five times to lock the door
I will smile, look at the sky, and thank
A million times for it being with you
Those nine months

You can tell the same story twice
You can ask me five times to lock the door
I will smile, look at the sky, and thank
A million times for it being with you
Those nine months
