To My Mom

To My Mom

I was grateful after I spoke with you the other day
You informed me that you want to live your life a new way
You want to be free from the demon that holds you in bondage
I am hopeful in God you will no longer be its hostage

I want you to know that I understand you are hurting
You look at your life and feel nothing is working
It grieves my soul that you have suffered for so long
Please mommy promise me that you will try to remain strong

What you are doing takes a lot of courage
Just take your time and don't get discouraged
If you start to feel scared while you are away
Just remember that I will be praying for you every day

I know this must be the hardest thing you will ever do
But if you trust in God, He will see you through
I don't want you to worry about a single thing
Just think about what you are doing and the good it will bring

The most important thing I want to say in all
Is that I love you no matter how many times you fall
I am thankful to have you as my mother
I would never trade you in for another

I shall think of you while you are away
And will ask God to hold your hand every day
Please believe that what I am saying is true
And remember mommy, I will always love you

Love,
Your little girl
