The story behind my poem.

This poem is about my mom. when i was very young my mom abandond me because she had very bad drug adictions. i didnt know my mother was even alive till the summer of 2006 when i read about her going to jail. i finaly started socializing with my mother when i was 14 she when into drug recovery therapy .. to this day she tells me im the only reason keeping her from doing it. i had to go away for the summer this year so i wrote her this to give her strang and to know im still there and how much i care :)<3
it worked it helped her through the summer.

i hope the reader gets that no matter what happends not matter how much they have hurt you. it just hurts you and the other person to hold on to the grudge, see i let go of my grudge and i forgave my mother and got her help and continue to help her.
my favore line is " You are my mother and our job is to protect eachother." i love it , it is so true !
