Letter To My Mother
Despite knowing you will never read this letter, I took it out from the drawer to see the light.
I wish you were here, so I could tell you face to face, everything I have written.
Ten years have gone. It seems an eternity without your jokes, your quarrels, your advice, your particular little things, that I couldn't put up with and today I miss and make me laugh in my loneliness.
The same loneliness I feel when I look at your pictures, at all those things that I want to keep as you left them.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish I could change the time back to those years when we used to fight, laugh and look out through different windows.
Now, you are not here anymore, but over the rainbow is the place where you are, dressed in white and displaying wings to fly every night to see me and take care of me.
You' ve always been an angel, and don' t worry, I took your advice, because I knew who you were, even If I wasn't the best daughter, understand, I was different, as you always said.
I'm sad when I go to our house, because memories are everywhere, the good ones and the worst ones: the ones when you were growing the wings ready to fly and leave me along in the nest without your warmth.
Mum, I want you to know that I became what you were, and if I am not that right person is because I'm humam, but I try to walk in the sun.
You gave me the life, and I saw your life turning off, but you left me your huge heart where the roots are growing deep inside of me.
