Dear Mother

by Jenn   Nov 5, 2009


You are my mother-
And I-
I am your daughter.
So why is it that we have absolutely no relationship at all?
Through the years I have always walked on egg shells around you.
Never knowing what to say-
Without getting you all upset for my feelings
And you making more out of something then their really is.
I never know how to act around you.
Now,
Ain't that something since you are my mother,
The person who gave me life.
I should be able to share things with you,
without being afraid of you not speaking to me for weeks on end.
You know all these years,
When I was little-
A teenager,
And even now,
A grown women,
With children of my own.
All I ever wanted was to be able to share things with you-
My life-
My happy days,
Sad days-
What ever day it may be.
I watch other Mothers and Daughters-
You will never know how I envy their relationships.
I always sit back and wonder-
How would it be?
But you know My Dear Mother-
I do know!
I know because I have two beautiful daughters of my own.
I promise to always have an open relationship with them.
To always stand by their side-
Even if I don't agree with them.
I never ever want my daughters to long and wonder what a relationship with their mother would be like.
They will never have that longing feeling-
They way that I have that longing feeling for my Mother.
