Thinking of You, Today


My dear precious daughter
I hold you in my heart
Just like I always have
Right from the very start

The day when you were born
And I held you in my arms
I vowed to love and protect you
Keeping you from all harm

There are things you don’t know
Things I will never tell
I love you more than life itself
But as a mother, it seems I failed

You went through so much
It just broke my heart into
No matter how hard I tried
It seems I couldn’t protect you

Today, as I think of you
I wish that you were here
To embrace you in my arms
And show how much I care

There is no love like a mother for her daughter.
Sending heart hugs your way sweet Sue.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

No mother is perfect. We're human ~ and humans are not perfect. A mother's loving heart can do a lot of making up for any short-comings she may have.

A very touching write, Sweet Sue!

Hugs with love,
Linda
