Mommy's Teardrop
by Austina Frazier
I only had one chance...
to keep you by myside...
To love you forever...
but I blew it...
with the fear that I harboured inside...
I invisioned you...
wrapped tightly in my arm's...
All I wanted to do was love you...
and keep you safe from all harm...
I was suppose to be the strong one...
but all I am is weak...
A mother...
and a coward...
with much guilt and shame...
My little one...
I want the truth to be known...
It was your Great-Aunt, Grandma and daddy...
that made me make Heaven your home...
They only care about themselves...
and material things...
Nothing else matters to them...
but all that they contain...
The hurt is so overwhelming...
I cry everyday...
Please, don't hate me...
I'll forever carry this pain...
Please understand...
I did all I could do...
No one just could understand...
the plans I had for you...
Now,when you see it raining...
know that it's tears falling from eyes...
Every tear that drops...
is the love that I hold for you inside.
