Dear Mother

Dear mother...Oh how my heart still aches; I can't help but to think about all my mistakes. Dear mother...Please forgive me as I forgive you; Physically and emotionally you know what I've been through. Dear mother...I'm aware I've not been the perfect son; But I've said a prayer to be forgiven of all the things I've done. Dear mother...You know I didn't commit that crime; If given a chance I ponder if I would go back in time. Dear mother...I wonder why you were so quick to give up on me; Was i such a liability? Dear mother...No more focusing on the past. That won't change a thing; I grew up too fast thinking I was grandma's offspring. Dear mother...Everyday I wait for a letter or two; You've gone M.I. A. and it's been eight years since I've seen you! Dear mother...Life is just far too short I wonder where you are because I need your support. Dear mother...It's not too late to get to know me; I've come to appreciate family. Dear mother...I hope this poem tugs at your heart and opens your eyes to see; How your absence is tearing me apart and it's effecting me. Dear mother...I appreciate your value no matter what we've gone through, I love you and I'll always be here for you!!
