A Poem

The dreams I had for you,

if only you knew.

I'd do anything to make them come true.

For you to grow in safety and security, not caught in between,

but free to be whoever you wanted to be.

Supported by family, equally, no tension or strife.

Oh, what I wouldn't give to turn all of the wrongs right.

I lay down and think of you.

Dreaming of the future I used to believe in, wishing you could share my dream too.

Oh, if you only knew the depths of the love I have for you,

you'd never accept such lies as truth.

But I hold onto you in spirit.

It's painful, I'll admit it, but

I still pray that someday these dreams come true.

And until then, my heart won't be content, as all I wanted was the absolute best for you.
