To Someone Stronger

With skin as beautiful as buttermilk,

And a motherly touch as soft as silk,

Why would you choose to be put down?

And mocked all to make you cry and frown.

In front of the two people that need you,

It hurts the most to see what you go through.

And for me sit back and watch is not in me,

I liked it better when it was just us three.

As tears roll down my cheek I wonder,

Will we ever live without the storm and thunder?

I know it hurts you to see me see this scene,

But you have to realize I bleed and cry… I'm a human being.

To see you sick in your own misery,

Hurt pain and hopelessness is what it gives me.

Please don't let you reading this change your train of thought,

Being a strong woman and adapting to survive is what you taught.

Throughout it all, we will see a victory

With god in our corner this will be one of a happy ending story.
