Today you told me I was strong
I held you as you cried, and told you that you were wrong
You're the one who is strong
You don't feel it but I can see it, and you've always been an inspiration to me
You're one of the bravest, most independent and headstrong women I know.
You can't see it because your soul is tired,
You can't see it because you lost sight of yourself in the chaos of life and you're hanging by a wire,
but I know
I know the kind of woman you are,
I know the kind of heart you have,
the burdens you bear, and the drive that pushes you to succeed.
Don't give up,
You have so much more to do with your life and for your kids
You're the best mother I know
I gave you advice today and I don't know where it really came from but I wish I listened to myself the way others do
Every word I said was true
I hope it gives you the courage you need to stick to your guns and move on
I hope you can take it all in and use it as armour for the battles you're facing
I love you.
