To My Mother


You built me

For This

I

Am

GRATEFUL

You Taught Me

To be

MYSELF

I

Am

Forever Yours

In

Spirit

In

Blood

You Left me

BUT

That was

NOT

Your

Choice

I

Grieved

I

Broke

I

Grew

I

Picked

MYSELF

BACK

UP

I

Make you

PROUD

Even though

I

Know you

CANNOT

SEE IT

I

Will ALWAYS

FEEL IT

Sincerely,
Your 
   Daughter
