Found it in a bottle, buried in the sand.
I dug it out, pulled the cork, and held it in my hand.
And on a rolled up paper words were  written down.
And the very top it started with two words:

Dear mom.
I hope this finds you well.
I wrote every feeling down and set it free.
To the oceans waves to carry away.
And every word carries with it everything I’ve Carried with me.

To the times I cried and you wiped my tears.
Told a younger me I shouldnt have any fears.
Lit a light when it got dark.
Gave me yours when they broke my heart.
And told me none of those girls deserved me.

Dear mom.
I hope this finds you well.
I wrote every feeling down and set it free.
To the oceans waves to carry away.
And every word carries with it everything I’ve Carried with me.

Trouble always had a way of finding me.
But you always had a way of dealing with me.
Sometimes for better sometimes for worse.
I know sometimes I broke your heart.
But still you always tried to help me.
Well I’m writing this because I know
You did all because you loved me.

And as the sun set.
I rolled the note up.
As a tear rolled down cheek and glistened in the sun.
I put the note back in the bootle and ******* the cork back on.
And threw that bottle back into the ocean to swallow up.
And I whispered to myself.

Dear mom.
I hope this finds you well.
I wrote every feeling down and set it free.
To the oceans waves to carry away.
And every word carries with it everything I’ve Carried with me.
