Mother I Never Met, Just Dont Forget

Just a few lines to let you know, the amount of respect for you i hold it cannot be measured , it cannot be counted and from time to time I'm sure its been doubted your heart glows with goodness and longs for truth If perfect exists, it would be equal to you I realize at times, Im not at my best Don't ever feel that I love you less to be mothered catches me off guard because mothering me has got to be hard I am stubborn and old, and set in my ways I promise mom, I'll get better with age you give me a sense of value and worth, Im just not sure how it all works I'm now too old to grasp what moms and daughters do So I thank the Lord to finally bless me with you I wish i could be brave and say this to your face But I wrote it all down, you can refer to,just in case There is one thing i ask you to do Keep this note private... between me and you Put it in a safe place, out of harms way This is me loving you, in my own special way you deserve beter, I just don't know how, so my words on paper will do for now your the kindest person i've ever met I love you mom, just don't forget

Sometimes we need help to learn to love again - My children and my wife taught me along with many of the members on this site despite my own self inflicted horrid past - I now devote my time to reaching out through books I write and use the sales proceeds to place them in re-habs, jails and Prisons including the many I have been housed in - I do it because God and I made a deal when I was Lost - We all deserve love and I do hope you can come to fully realize that as I have - God Bless
