When you were little and to young to know.

I used to watch and wait for you to grow.

I would love to go back into a moment in time when your little hands were clutched in mine.

Your almost old enough now to understand,

Why I had to let you go. I couldn't spend my life without you.

So I chose to watch you from a distance, how proud I am of what you are,

Don't you know you are my shining stars. I wished for you the better things in life,

I hope and pray that God did you right. You are so prescious my darling girls,

I wanted to give you diamonds and pearls.

In my heart I knew without a doubt, for you to stay, you would have gone without.

I could not allow this for my daughters you see, I wanted the world to fall at your feet.

 You are so special, I could not be selfish when it was you who made me so proud.

I did what I thought was best. I hope in time you learn the rest.

I only wanted to see you happy, I hope in time you'll see things my way, for if you don't, all will have been in vain.

I did this for you, even though I was torn apart, My daughters you see you are my heart.

When I left and went away, it took all I had just to sign that day. Don't think for a moment That I didn't want you... It was FOR you that I did it this way.

Maybe one day, someday soon, I'll be able to show this to you.

In this letter, a poem from the heart, I hope you can understand,

I am a MOTHER torn apart.

I love you and miss you with all of my heart.
