Dear daughter, please cry
If that is what your feeling, let those tears run til dry
As they stream down, let me hug you through this time
Dear darling, I beg you not to strive for constant happiness
Do not think you are a failure when you realize that life is full of pain,
That pain will be your greatest treasure trove to derive golden gain
Dear darling, do not strive for pain, it will arrive on its own time
It will pass on its own time
Dear love of mine, I promise you that those times you are down will not cause you to drown
Promise me in return that when you feel that pull down, you will call me to come around
I will travel miles across towns, and spend hours on the phone, just to help you find your way home-to yourself
On
your darkest, foggiest, stormiest of days, we will sit together in the
grey, under an umbrella, soaking in the rain, until the sun shines again
and your smile soothes your pain
Dear
daughter, speaking of that beautiful bright smile of yours, it is your
truth, your spirit, your joy when it lights you up, sparkling and fresh
like the morning dew
But
its nothing new, that we sometimes use our smile to cover our pain,
promise me you will never do this with me and if you do Ill forgive you
again and again
Dear
darling, you see, there is no level too deep down that I haven't
already seen with my own eyes, let my arms comfort you when it is your
turn to be deep in sobbing cries
I am here for you. It is my gift to you and it is deep and true.
Wherever you go, whatever you do.
Any problem you ever face, you are never ever alone
There is no mistake you can make that will forbid you from my arms
There is no harm you could cause that would keep you from my words
We will cry, will will sigh or figure out how to do better next time
you are mine, my daughter, my kin
Never to be erased by any sin
I would rather you cry in my arms then cry all alone
I would rather pick you up from dark alleys you accidentally wander down,
then find out you are no longer around...
This may sound extreme, so let me be very clear what I mean
Do not mistake my words here as saying, "do as you please"
I am raising you to be kind, to follow rational order and to be morally sound
But I know there will be times when your world will still crumble down
Dear darling, I am raising you to help others, have manners and find your true voice
To give back to your community and to make the right choice
These are the things you will hear me go over in the tiny lessons of each and every day
But
I know life is not a rosy playground where all bad things go away, even
if you do your best and try your hardest, I would hate to hear these
bad things that I pray will never happen, its true.
But
here this deeper truth, that even though I pray to god each day to
protect you, the world is painted not only in the white light I
envision, but shades of grey and red and blue
You will be angry, sad, disappointed and confused
But darling, no matter what I am here for YOU!
It is my biggest job as your mom and one I most value.
