Letter to mum

Dear mum,
I really miss you.
Its my leisure now but
all I can think of is you.
I see you in every woman, so I
treat them how I wish you were treated,
remembering how much you've been
broken but remain in defeated.
I remember it all;
the struggles of the past
and you staying awake at nights
wondering how long it would last.
The sight of pregnant women makes
me wonder what it is like to choose to feel
so much pain and stress knowing you
could have avoided it all with a pill.
But you wed, bled
and shed tears for me.
Even when we speak of the future
these days, I sense your fears for me.
With my experience in life and
knowing what you've been through,
yours is the only kind of love
I can certify is true.
We still have a long way to go but
so far the journey has been rough.
Yet you never let go of me,
you've done more than enough.
So all I really want to say now is
THANK YOU FOR BEING MY MUM *kiss*
