To My Child

I feel sometimes like I've truly lost my way
Sometimes it's hard to make it through the day
When I have the chance to sit and think
I stare ahead and never stop to blink
My heart is loudly crying out for you
My soul is crying out for love so true
I don't know how I've made it this long
I don't know how I've stayed so strong
I guess I am waiting for the day
When all of my pain will go away
It's been so hard without you by my side
Losing you took away so much of my pride
You are part of me, a piece of my soul
And until you find me, I will never be whole
I am so sorry that I let you go
And hope one day that you will know
That all I wanted was the best for you
Even though it's torn my world in two
The only reason I am still alive
Is the hope that you'll be by my side
I want you to know wherever you are
That even if the distance is far
You are always here in my heart and soul
And that I'm leaving this in God's control
One day he'll send you back to me
One day my heart will again be free
My love for you will never end
When you're back, my heart will mend
Just know a mother's love is forever
Even if we are not together
