Goodbye (Mother)
by T. Monika Carter

I remember well the days when
Each morning you kissed me awake
Helped me to get ready for school
And made sure I was never late

Organized my birthday parties
Invited all my little friends
Made hot cocoa with cream and cake
And made sure the fun never ends

But suddenly everything changed
My happy childhood was shattered
I stood alone in the night while
Pain and confusion descended

You took what was not yours to take
Committed the ultimate crime
Heaven forgive you for your sin
'Cause I could not at the time

I can only guess what you felt
All the anguish and all the pain
You chose to take the easy way
Left me here to shoulder the blame

The scars run deep across my heart
They'll be there till the day I die
I understand so much more now
But still wonder about the WHY

There is one thing I desire
To be able to talk to you
To say I will always love you
And that I have forgiven you

May your next life be happier
One without any suffering
May you have the love you deserve
And the peace you have been seeking
