The Ties That Bind

this i wrote for my future daughter (if i had one). this is the mother i would be.

I know that you hurt

And I know how you feel

I know you hear this all the time

But this time it's real

 

I've had the heartbreak

And I've experienced the pain

I know what it feels to wish you were dying

I've spent many nights endlessly crying

 

I will not belittle you

Or tell you I have too much to do

 

I will not ignore you

Or push you away

You can remain in my arms

For as long as you want to stay

 

You're so beautiful in every single way

Even though you might feel worthless today

 

I may not always know why you're stressed

Or the troubles that you're facing

That's why in your heart,

This is what I'm placing

 

A tie so strong

To bind you to me

Those days when I won't

Be able to wipe those tears

Those days when I can't

Kiss away those fears

 

A tie so full of hope

That you will choose life

Instead of a rope

 

I know the choices you will meet

And the temptations you may not beat

You're going to make mistakes little one,

But behind those gloomy eyes

Lies the sun

I will help you correct those mistakes

Mending them for as long as it takes

 

And when you grow up

You can tell your children

About these ties that bind

 

So close to your heart, you will find

An unconditional and irrevocable love

From your mother and our Creator above

 

So take heart, my daughter

And spread your wings

Because you are strong

For you my daughter,

My heart sings

Aw wow!! I cried in this one hehe. That was just purely beautiful hun :) Wow! Indeed, it is true, too. When we all have kids, we always want the best for them, and make sure that they dont repeat the same mistakes that we did in life. They deserve so much better, and deserve a better life than what we've had. Such a beautiful piece hun; great work!! :)
