Grateful

#Grateful
Some ghosts in me evacuate, 
long buried hope,
 some shattered smile on a bare surface,
long dessertted, untainted human trait
Unconditional love and humanity

She said she prayed for me
Prayed that I do good in life
Prayed for my safety and success
Prayed I be better and well

Her knee to the ground
Her palm to palm 
Her heart projection
Her compassion
And most her love.

Broke in me, chains of fear
Shackles of faith
Dungeons of freedom

Felt safe in  her presence
Assured in her intentions 
Written with ink in her fate
My heart is sealed

Never felt safe and 
homely, away from home 
and far from my mother
And there she is loving me
Unconditionally assuring me
In this with her wholesome

Grateful for the prayer
My mother Prayed 
For me to have her in my life
Grateful for being there 
In every up and downs 
In every joy and celebrations
In every laughter and tears
Grateful for being loved 
The correct way
Best way
Unconditionally so
Grateful for the blessing you are in my life
I'm Grateful
