Just to say I haven't forgotten you.

I sit and wish you would believe

Not believe in words but only in me.

The day I left I saw you cry.

Tears from joy or from good bye.

This question I've asked many a time

Yet an answer I still can not find.

That is okay and I am just fine

Living a life of flowers and bright sunshine.

Some decisions right and then some wrong

But through time I've learned to be strong.

So much has changed, I wish you'd see

But you live your life and so do we.

You have both a daughter and a son

Both getting married yet you attend one.

This is not a guilt trip by any means

And I'm most certainly sure, that is how it seems.

I'm glad he had you there for his big day

I'm glad he had family to help along the way.

He's always been lucky in that sense

A mother to adore him, present and past tense.

Now I have my own life with all these precious things

Not money, power, or big fancy diamond rings.

Just an honest life with my husband and my boy

One thing keeping me from absolute joy.

From this day forward I will be somewhat free

Free from the pain that has been caused to me.

I will never forget the past that I was dealt

And will never let go of the pain I have felt.

But in the end this is what I must do

And that is make a promise that I will always love you!
