I believe in you

     They look up at you and the trust and love is overwhelming. A Small package craving everything you have to offer. Their desire for learning is only matched by your desire to mold them into a good person. You feed and clothe them, teach and love them for countless hours, months and years. Then one day they are gone, finding their path to a life you can only hope will be one of happiness and compassion. Along the way they got lost choosing the wrong pathway and becoming the one person you prayed they never would, but you stood by them and forgave their mistakes again trying to teach and guide them back to the life you knew they could achieve. It looked good for awhile and your faith proved to be true and just. But it happened again and again until you reached so deep inside of yourself but found only emptiness, yet you carried on believing they could change. A parent’s love has no boundaries, no time limits and no giving up but it does have a breaking point like all hearts you pray and ask God for help, to give him strength and guidance and to understand that to fall is ok but you must get back up and be the adult that you have come so close to becoming. Look in the looking glass and promise yourself that you have made wrong choices and poisoned your body with nothing but evil and you quit now, this very instant and no turning back. I gave you life and love and an understanding of what life can be if only you clear your mind and listen to voices of reason, not addiction. I believe in you and always will, but you must break the looking glass and never see that reflection again
