Dedication Poem

I am your mother.
I feel many things.
I weep, I laugh, I share, I love.

I left when you were but small children
Too young to understand why....
Too young to forgive....
But, not too young to feel.

I left to find me, to have freedom.
The freedom to cry,
The freedom to be lonely,
The freedom to feel guilty,
But to be me.

The years have passed,
You have grown and so have I.
My love for you has changed.
It has grown deeper, more real!

When you are with me, I feel alive again.
I am content and peaceful.
I feel concern and protective.
I feel loved.

When you leave, a part of me goes with you.
I feel sad and alone...
I feel empty and confused....
I feel the light within me flicker.

I know you now as most precious persons.
One who is intelligent,
One who has feelings too,
One who loves and one who can forgive!

I ask now for that forgiveness!
For my leaving you....
For my weaknesses....
For my selfishness.

I ask now for your understanding
And for your continued love,
For you are more dear to me than life itself!

Please know within your hearts and souls
That I have always cared...
That I never meant to make you sad.

I love you and will always be there for you...
You are my beautiful children.
My most treasured gifts from God.

I dedicate this website and these meditations
to each of you.
For it is you who have inspired me to search.
To search for my own truth....
To search for my own power....
To search for my God source!

I make this journey to seek self-validation
In order to feel the beauty and power in each of you!
For in truth, we are One!
