Fall Back Into Me

((I wrote this poem to my best friends mom. Her mom has had a rough year, she lost her mom and now going through another rough time Her mom has treated me like a daughter always been there and never let me fight a battle by myself. Me and my mom do not get along, and her mom stepped in. I was trying to help with this))

Imagine the ocean caressing a sandy white beach,
where the sunset would have its own stage.
Or perhaps a child rescuing a stray puppy.
The look on the animals face when it's liberated from the cage.

These precious moments will forever struggle
to everyday pursue the goal of measuring up to
the enticing rare beauty and breathless joy
shining in this world because of you.

Unexpectedly, you were unmercifully entwined
with a fate you neither welcomed or choose.
Something far worse than losing a job
or not being able to afford some clothes.

It was lurking around the corner,
but did not make itself known.
Delivered in a ruthless way.
Something thats not aloud to be postponed.

Resentment and confusion,
anticipated emotions to arise.
No one should be forced to
say that type of goodbye.

Your children look up to you,
see someone who is strong and wise.
It kills them to see you in a
hurt state, with water filled eyes.

We are here,
you're not alone.
We will together become
your rock through the cyclone.

You have done what you can.
No one expects any more.
You deserve someone to wipe your tears,
like you have done so many times before.

I love you and respect you beyond belief,
you try so hard to make sure others are alright.
You are always there to get a family game started
or to help intervene and mend what started a fight.

Life has thrown a curve ball,
but you will make it through.
You posses amazing children and a loving husband.
Never will you be abandoned, you have me too.

You have a loving family and close friends.
You will make it through this as a family, together.
You are not alone with these agonizing feelings.
You will not be worn down by this cruel weather.

I will keep you in my prayers,
every morning and night.
Just please remember, you
are not alone in this fight.
