A poem about a mother and daughter, once estranged now reconnected |
The brown eyed girl Sits down in the chair with the box in her lap at which she stares Does she dare to open it and see whats inside? It came from her mom who's been gone for a while She fiddles with the latch while trying to decide She's been mad at her mom for quite sometime Finally, she lifts the lid and to her surprise There's a piece of paper, and an envelope inside She reads the page, it's a story her mother had written It's about her, she just knows it now shes willing to listen She opens the envelope there's a letter enclosed She takes a deep breath and whispers, "here we go" It's your mother and I've loved you since the first day we met There are things that I've done you will never forget It's killed me each day since you left with your dad I know the things he told you really made you mad But baby, please believe I did the best I could I hope someday you'll forgive me I really wish you would The girl, now a teenager Began to think about The mother she remembered and she began to doubt The decision she made to never love her again there was a point in time when her mom was her best friend She put the letter and story back into the box they brought up old memories she was trying to block She picked up the phone and dialed her moms number she said, "Mom, I forgive you, and yes I still love you. Her mother heard this and began to cry she said each day without you was like dying inside Thank you for calling I hope we can be friends I know it will take time, we have broken hearts to mend |
