Dear Mother

by Chelle Wood - Cancer

The story of my life,
though not new, and often varied
was full of joys and sorrows,
and quite often I was carried
by a lifeline 
that was ever present
and though not perfect,
was always decent.
My mother laid her heart 
to bare
and gave me all she 
carried there,
never minding that I took it
all for mine,
without seeing all the 
sacrifice~
it held no price.
The journey had its tribulations
and its trials
as I wandered many
uncharted miles,
but still I knew to whom
to turn
when I needed shelter
from the storms
that raged within my jagged soul, 
to heal my wounds 
forever more.
So this I say with
heartfelt words,
you are my rock,
my mighty sword.
Dear Mother,
Please know that all 
is well,
for all you taught and gave
was real.

Reason for writing:

    I love you, Mom
