Eva Yazdchi

To My Mother

I have cried and I have stood alone
I have flown high and fell to earth below
I have laughed and felt I couldn't breathe while sometimes crawling
On my hands and knees, I have lived and I have died
Because I have loved and hated this life
I have tried and fallen down and at times never have
But I'll never know now, and it's because of you
I can't let go, why you're the one who gave me hope.
The times I've got lost and you carried me home,
held me in your arms and kept me close.
I've ran in the rain and I've stood in the sun, while standing my ground
when the winds have blown. I've fought through the storms and
I've had my pain, but you were always there to help stand again.
Without you on this earth I would find it hard
to see any good in this world...
even with all the expressions of words I can create from my heart.
There is no kind of language that exists
which can truly convey how special you are
and how much I love you. For when you were born
God gave the world a special gift, and with all
the lives you have touched as well as bettered,
God gave the world something that can never be replaced.
Love, Lonnie
