Dear Mom,
Dear Mom,
You left too soon
No one was to know
Unexpectedly terminal
But your happiness was terminated long ago
By a horrible disease
To which I’m predisposed
Certain days I feel its somber presence
But something else also shows
Strength
Ambition
Determination
These traits will protect me
From failure and more
They will push me further
The impossible, I will own
You won't be here to celebrate
But deep down I know
You’re always with me spiritually
Everywhere I go
Sincerely,
Your youngest daughter
