I NEVER WAS LOST

from a Mother to her Daughter after a long stuggle with Drug addiction

I NEVER WAS LOST
I never was lost to you; I have been here waiting for you.
I never was lost to you, I held you in my heart.
I never was lost to you, Moms never are.
I prayed someday you would take the turn to find yourself again.
I somehow never gave up hope, but I asked God to watch over you.
I shed tears, as I knew I had to hold you at arms length.
It was hard but I knew I must.
I never was lost to you. I still had love for you in my heart.
I remember my little girl I used to rock to sleep,
I remembered the child that only wanted her Mom there when
she was sick or could not sleep.
I did not like this person you had become, but I still loved the person I knew you to be.
I never was lost to you: I just knew you had to find your way back to me on your own.
I never was lost to you, in fact I see you traveling the long road back now.
Welcome Home
I love you.

This is quite touching. But I think it's more appropriate for the poetry section, and also the font makes it look like its been screamed out loud. Follow the GWsite formatting rules. It makes it more readable. The emotions are beautifully penned. I liked this a lot.
