Thank You

Mom, I thank you for all those things you said
When you told me I was out of my head
I know sometimes I don't take your advice
And for that I have always paid the price
You would have thought I'd have learned by now
And that all this pain would show me how
To be a tough and strong woman like you
I've always admired all that you do
I don't know when I lost my way,
I just want happiness to come one day
But first I must stop looking in the wrong places
And realize the truth behind all these unfamiliar faces
For me right now my world is sad
I feel as if I've lost all I had
My vision is often cloudy and blue
So now its time I listen to you.
