FORGIVE

Raven333

Am sorry my sweet angel

For the cards in life,

You were dealt.

It is the worst pain,

As your mother

That I have ever felt.

Dealing with pain

I am no stranger,

I would lay down and die

If you were endanger.

Mistakes I have made

All through my life,

Only with you

I have no strife.

I wish you had

A better setting growing up,

And I hope you can do

A lot of forgetting,

What I did wrong.

You deserved so much more,

But I provided

Everything I could.

Now that am older

I look back and I constantly say,

' I should'

It kills me to know,

You feel so depressed

And all alone.

I only wish

You still needed me,

And it was something

You never outgrown.

I believe in you

And I know you try,

Your a victim of circumstance

And I will tell you why..

I wasn't a very strong mother,

Never had a lot of money

But my goal was,

To keep us altogether.

My love,

Is all that I have to give.

Am just praying now,

That you have learned

How to forgive..

    I bet she tells you that there's nothing to forgive Raven. You did your best, thats all you could, so don't blame yourself !

    • Raven333

      Thank you my friend, been going through some struggles but am strong...

      As someone who's parents were both in the picture, it's always better to have someone who cares and does their best for you rather than have two figures to feel abandoned by.

      • Raven333

        Thank you so much but so sorry if you felt abandoned..
