NEVER GIVE UP


SO MUCH REGRET,
ONCE WAS A TIME I HAD IT ALL,
BUT ALL OF MY WEAKNESSES,
COULDN'T BREAK MY FALL,
I WANTED SO MUCH,
BUT ONCE I DID,
ONLY TOOK IT FOR GRANTED,
NOW ONLY GOD'LL FORGIVE,
KNOWING I DON'T DESERVE,
YET STILL ASKING FORGIVENESS,
CHOICES I MADE,
TORE YOU'RE WORLD ALL TO PIECES,
SO MUCH LIKE ME,
I CAN ONLY PRAY YOU'RE STRONGER,
NO MATTER WHERE LIFE TAKES YOU,
I'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR MOTHER,
LIVE EACH OF YOUR DAYS,
AS IF IT WAS YOUR LAST,
KEEP FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS,
AND DON'T FORGET YOUR PAST.

Nicely written from a mother's heart. The poem is a good start to reach your goal of the forgiveness that you want. Keep writing. Sara
