(  I pulled this out of my old poetry book, ‘Tangled Lies,Soft Sighs & Alibies” in homage to my daughter who is far from home, but is close to my heart.)

 Just because I left

don’t mean I don’t love you

 Just because I left

it doesn’t mean i don’t care

 Just because I left

don’t mean

I’m not your little girl anymore.

I need my mommy

I need My dad

 Just because I left

it don’t mean I’m not sad.

We all have dreams we want to follow

We all have things we want to share

When I wake from bad dreams

I still want you there.

I wanted to stay

I needed to go

What was I supposed to do?

I don’t know.

I left..

But I love you so.

Please don’t get angry

Please dont be sad

I’m still your little girl

and I need my mom and dad.

I love you both

till the end of time.

Upon reading reading my poem my girl who is off at unversity send the following;
( posted with her permission)

It was hard when I was a kid. I don’t blame you but taking care of ourselves did help it so now that we’re older we can leave without worrying. 
I know it was hard on you thinking that you weren’t being a good mom.
But as a mom aren’t you supposed to make it so we can leave home comfortably?
It may not have been perfect but I realized a while ago that you’re better then every other mom. You may not have been able to walk or take care of us when We were sick.
But you love us. And you encourage us to do what we love. Most moms aren’t like that.
My sister just needs to realize that it really wasn’t your fault and even though things were sucky you still loved us.
I love you mom.

I guess what we do, is just hold on, & continue to love.

Blessed be my friends
