A Letter to Mom
Mom,
when we couldn’t see through the night
to tomorrow,
you pulled us through.
When days and nights were cold,
full of someones rage…
You helped guide us through.
When life offered doubt
and fear,
you gave truth.
When drowning in sadness and tears,
your strength was proof…
of life, and how we choose.
When I hit my lowest,
your voice quivered with fear
with love…
you offered me your roof.
Your love has seen us..
Through and through.
Your love and acceptance has saved
my life…
Look at me, I am living proof.
I love you Mommy
forever and through.

**My Sister and I were recently discussing how we have such love and sincere words for those we have lost but forget to recognize those who have remained a constant through our lives. I would like to take a moment and dedicate this to my Mommy.**
This is my life through poetry, quotes, and my journal. The intense ride of my ups and downs of life ...and the relentless mood disorders I suffer from.
I shared this poem with my mom. I hope you don’t mind! Your words inspire me every day, BiplarMuse.

It has been a rough life and I have no clue what I would do without her.

I feel the same about my mom. I hate that she lived through the hell with me, and never got to see the stable me…the person I’ve become.
The person I believe, she always could see.
I miss you mom.

I am sure she could always see the person you would be… ♥

Much of who I am is because of her influence.
I’m so thankful that I was able to have her support and guidance for as long as I did.
I think she would be surprised at the things she taught me just by being who she was.
again, thank you for posting such a beautiful mom post.
I was thinking you might want to read a poem I wrote about my mom. I don’t write poetry often, this I wrote within a couple of hours after she died. I hope you like it.
