- Hope For Tomorrow -

Everything in my past,
has shaped me into who I am today

Daughter I'm fine
Thinking on all the years we had
which you today opt out of
Actions, decisions and choices

My world is hushed and silent
No laughter from grandchildren
every soft embrace is faded

A million words would not brings you back,
none of your puzzle pieces fit together

There is pain on both sides
Daughter I hope you are fine
I cannot live with drama and lies

We often want to avoid unpleasant feelings
and lose touch with who we are

But you must be ready 
and emotionally available
Our emotions are a compass
indicative when we makes choices

Nothing is impossible
you are a part of my heart
