Am I - a Good Mother
Am I ~ a good mother
Does she ~ feel how much I love her
Can she ~ see the sacrifices I make
Will she ~ understand they are in her namesake
While my mind and heart were at war
My “hero” ~ had something in store
She ~ rescued me once more
With a phone call from 700 miles away
Enthusiasm in her voice ~ she went on to say
“Guess what mommy; I have to write an essay”
Topic:”The most important woman in my life”
Her words gently removed depressions knife
She ~ pulled my spirit from home in the dark afterlife
She ~ continued with a few questions for me
Answers she already had ~ all I did was agree
If only she knew ~ how much doubt filled my mind
“Am I a good mother” ~ how could I be so blind
Is it wrong for me to be so far away
Will it hinder the bond we’ve held since her “birth” day
Without being burdened with question nor task
She ~ rescued and reassured me in a flash
Now when in doubt or I can’t find my way
I pray my guardian angel answers ~ as she did today
Down on my knees I will look to the sky
Thank God for the blessing in her eyes
Thank him for hearing my cries
And for delivering my reply
“Mommy listen as I tell you why”
Lay
