My Beloved Mother

by Jessica Chavez

She is my life.
She is important to others and me.
All the hard times you faced I was there the whole time.
I’m sorry I’m sorry.

I know im not the best.
I know your trying to be a sponge by trying to keep the tears in.
All those rain drops gently falling down your face makes my eyes water up.
I’m sorry I’m sorry.

I know he caused you pain.
He has caused you to suffer
He made all your trusting walls fall down and shatter
The  way he seen you and your children suffer brought him down, it’s made him realized he was wrong

I’m sorry I’m sorry.
Im sorry is all he could say to you since he can’t see the way you suffer.
All this time whiled you suffered I made you suffer even more.
I’m sorry I’m sorry.

I miss the old you.
The way you smiled
The way you were happy with your family and kids
I’m sorry I’m sorry.
No we’re sorry…
