Dear Mom
Dear Mom:
It was hard to understand,
The love you had for me.
So I took the hand,
Of a boy.
Trusting in him,
Only to be decoyed.
So I took the hand,
Of a man.
Who taught me to trust,
Again.
Freeing me to adjust,
Without directive demand.
Although his love,
So tender.
My heart would not,
Fully surrender.
So I took the hand,
Of our savior.
He showed me the light,
A reason to fight.
He opened my eyes,
Not to believe the devils lies
So I stood up tall
Never again will I fall
Your love had always been,
With appreciation,
That was not dim.
Only hidden.
So I'll take your hand,
One day.
In heavens sand
I will say
I love you mother
Always and forever
Happy Mothers day!
To my loving mother who suffered with Lupus and alcoholism.
I never truly understood the love you had for me before I found Christ and had my baby girl!
No matter how it may appear some times there is no greater love than a mothers love for her children (besides our savior.)
Rest in peace mommy dearest!
