To My Daughter
To my darling daughter maybe one day you will see,just how very special
and much yo mean to me.
Looking back through the years not knowing how I've managed to fight
back the tears.
The hurt and pain I feel inside is something I'll have to live with till the day
I die.
I don't understand where I went so wrong,if only I could have the chance
to do it over again how happy I'd be.
I know just where I'd start and that would be changing everything about
me.
Maybe then we could be so close,instead of the person you disrespect
most.
If only I knew how to make it better,that would be the greatest gift more so
than any card or letter.
For us to be closer than close like mom's and daughters are supposed to
be.
It just doesn't seem like that is ever gonna be possible for you and me.
Lord knows how hard I've tried and in many different ways,to just be able
to hear those words to have my daughter say.
That she loves me and to let me hug her anytime I want you see,instead of
hateful hurtful things said and done and a hug you need to ask for one
don't hang on me.
To be able to kiss my daughters sweet face,and be welcomed with a warm
loving embrace.
It hurts me more than you'll ever even begin to phathom or begin to see.
I'm just afraid that is how its always gonna be.
Just know that I am always here for you and love you no matter what
you do wrong.
I just wish I could be the person that would make you proud to say,
" Thats my mom ".
