Mum's note to her dear ones...poem

To my children. This is for you.

You need to know some things about the woman you call your mom.
One day when I am old and gray,
or here no longer .
You will read this,
and know of the woman you called mom.

Yes I know you think you know me,
because you have been with me all your life.
But my sweet children,
I have been more then a mother and a wife.

Although these things have been important and nothing is greater to me in my life.
Then being your mommy and someones wife.

In time and over time,
you may find,
things about me,
you would not
believe I have done.
All I ask is when you hear things,
you will not shutter and shun me,
as others have done.

But know I am and was,
but a woman,
and your ever loving mum.

My history could be called a tattered and torn one,
to some.
It could be a reckless one to others.
An even yet to others it might be consider an adventures driven one.
No matter what is viewed.
An what it has become.
Know in your heart of hearts I have loved you all,
more then anything
else I have,
or have not done.

I will admit to you,
that I'm not proud of many things that has been,
or
hadn't been.

I have sinned as many humans have,
yet one thing is without a doubt.
The most proud and honest of all things in my life.
Which is that,
if I had not been your mama.
I sure would have never been anyone.

So as you learn about your mom and your friend.
In the days to come.
Do not judge me to harshly,
or disown me for what was.
Just remember,
your mother loves you,
more then any,
but maybe one.
An that would be the creator of all that was here and yet to come.

Bonnie,

That was beautiful, being a divorced father that raised two sons, I almost felt we were reading each other's lines.
