Well, Mothers day is coming up, and 6 years ago, around Mothers day I had some other disturbing news. A growth was found on my brain. It got me to thinking about my girls and all they had been through. So I sat down and wrote them this poem. I put it in a frame and gave it to them for mothers day that year, and they both to this day still have it. I'll share it with you all. Hope its a help to you in some small way.... ~This mothers Poem to her girls~ I look at you and can't believe how much you've grown How time has flown I know life to you hasn't been fair How little time we've been able to really share Disease has robbed us of so much, my Sweets But always know, it was not what i wanted: More time with you, to do things we couldn't do; I know there were times, when you were small, you didnt know from one day to the next, where you would be, Or, even if I would be I'm so sorry For putting more on you than you should have had, at such a young age..... At a time when those things should have been far from your precious heads! If there were a way I could make it up to you, My sweet ladies..... I would! If I could take the pain, I know you must feel daily, Never knowing what the future holds, I would with out hesitation! But Because I can't, I must see, and know in my heart, how much stronger this has made you from the start! Because of the unfair invasion that has prevented us from going and doing We've been able to sit and talk and watch the sunsets on our long walks We've seen the sadness in it all, Yes its true, But we have seen the Beauties And I have been given the honor and privilege of witnessing two small Lovely giggly little girls, Grow up into Beautiful Young Women. I was blessed once by giving birth to you both.... Now I am blessed twice by loving you and in return, being Loved by you so. And no disease, No time apart, will ever take you away from my heart! So you see my daughter's, On this Mother's Day, I just wanted to say, Thank you for making my job as a mother So easy And thank you for understanding, When I know that was a task, Not so easy to ask. ~Always Remember~ Where ever your lives may take you, What ever you may go through, Always rest assured You take my heart with you. Much Love always ~Moma~ 5-12-02
