She is a woman. She is a fighter. She is a warrior. But most of all she is the one I call ma.
Hey ma,
We were one
Once
You and I were once one
You held me in your womb
And then you battled to let me free to see the world
We were entwined once
I needed your bosom to stay alive
You held me in your arms
And then you smiled when you set me free to see the world
We were each others best friends once
I needed to learn life to stay alive
You let me crawl, walk
And then you let me run free to see the world
And now the years have passed and I wonder why
Why you never told me to come back home sooner
How did you have me as yours for all those years and then let me go
How did you let me run free to see the world
The plight and heartbreak of being a mother is one that is beyond words.
In return I want you to know
We are one
forever
Wherever I am
you are always
It is in the insights, the teaching, the guidance
I learnt at your feet
It is in the love , grace and care
I learnt by your side
In return I want you to know
We are one
forever
Wherever you are
I am always
I am glad to know that I was a good child to you
With everything that you had to deal with
I wondered if I did my part
I am proud of how you looked after me when you were only a girl yourself
I have thought about it many times and I am thankful that you kept me
I am grateful to you for doing everything that you could for me
I remember the day we parted..
As the bus that was taking me to my destiny left town,
you were walking home alone
Tears were streaming down you face
I wanted to come out and get back to you
but I knew it was never the plan
It is time for the next chapter and I wanted to tell you that I am proud of you
I always say that I am an exquisite piece of work in progress
and I play a hand in who I become
but you played the greatest part in creating and moulding me
I hope in me you see some of your life's work and feel pride too
I may not have said it often in the past but you are awesome
You are inspiring
You broke rules
You tried new things
You explored new ideas
You looked cute in suits
You would not be defeated
You were a warrior
A fighter
A woman I will always be proud to call my mother.
I will learn to tell you more often about who you are so that you do not forget.
At the end, I will miss you
I will learn what it felt like for you to let me go
I will learn how it feels to have an empty home
I will learn how it feels to wish for you always
I will learn how the ache never goes away
I will learn the agony of a mother.
Write me a letter please and tell me how you did it ...
Please write me a letter and tell me how you did it ...
I do not think I am strong enough
The plight and heartbreak of being a mother is one that is beyond words.
Yours truly
Your daughter
In Love- Always
