A letter to my Mother

by maria-cordero

1. What a summer Such a dream You’re getting married And then she is staying until the trees wilt away 2. Don’t you know It’s just a present I’m leaving for good 3000 miles away I’ll stand But I’ll still love you Please understand 3. It’s hard here It’s rough here I have not felt much love here in such a long time The nightmares leave me scared 4. One time we left No one knew Grain creeping between my toes Salt sniffing my nose I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day Happiness is in the moments, they say 5. I’ve had far more moments here than there I can’t seem to remember much from before It’s blurry and slurry Like that night in that house Where he crept in like a mouse 6. You’ll be happy in this life I’m not worried Have faith in my actions I know what I want I know what I need I just wish I knew what I was doing I wish I knew where I am going.
