How To Run Poem by carmelitta gannon

A mothers love last forever, but yours just slipped away.

I guess I wasnt good enough to be in your heart to stay.

When things got rough you ran from us, You couldnt even

say 'I love you' like you used to and make it all okay.

My boo boo's stay unbandaged my prayers I say alone,

Im not our shadow anymore so when you leave I stay at home.

I know that I am different in the way that I act.. I guess Im

growing up and I cannot take that back. When I leave will you

remember everything you have done.

Its safe to say that in this life you've taught me how to run.
