AMEN [dedicated to Anne and Teresa] What do you do when you told Your kids said you never Did anything  for them. Do you give up your life – sold? Sold out, Scream, Who knows? Pain surrounds me, I have to love from afar. I do not know what to do Give up, walk on, paste a smile on my face. Pretend that it does not matter. There is nothing I can do Just love them the way they are. I guess as a mom I am through. All that I was proud of has come to haunt me. I was there, I loved, I cared, and I still do. I can not keep on letting them stomp on  my heart. I locked myself up in prison – my room. When will I let me get out of this tomb. Here I sit nailed to the floor. I don’t want to go out the door. Do I like me – how do I feel? I have God in me and that is real. I took a look inside and heard God say: “Come out. Come out, Be who you are. Come out and shine like a morning star! Your name is Dawn and I make no mistakes. When I made you, I saw the stakes. Let me hold you, let me mold you. I am your Father, listen to me. You did the best you could And now your are mine You had me in your heart all the time. I am with you, I love you, To me you are true!” Thank God for God in my life. Thank God for taking my strife, Thank God I am loved Thank God I have you. God from above. You wipe my tears, You take away my fears, I give you my children I ask you to send All my love to them, All I can say is AMEN.
