My Dream

The other day my mom said, "she was proud of me."
Taking me by surprise, I sat there wondering why?
Doesn't she realize her time has gone?
This glorious moment is mine alone.
I don't care what she thinks anymore.
she was never there to help me out.
Words of Encouragement few to none
Now that  I've achieved my dreams  she wants a piece.
She won't take my success from me.
I poured hours and tears into my work.
Mom, let me be, this is my dream./center>

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 6/7/2011 8:54:00 AM Dear Cory, I'm sorry you feel this way about your mother. There were a few times I was angry with my father and now that he's gone I live with the regrets. Maybe she is trying to reconnect with you and truly is proud. I hope that is the case. Love and blessings for success with your new book, Carolyn Login to Reply

Robert Johnson Date: 6/6/2011 11:41:00 AM I guess I can understand the angst. But I've learned that carrying that is a weight we burden ourselves with. Try to lighten the load and forgive. I promise you, you will feel lighter. May God bless your heart. Login to Reply
