Poem for Mom

I Keep Hoping

Watching you as you lay there and suffer
Standing and watching at the side lines
Each time I see you it seems to get tougher
Asking you to stop so many times
I keep hoping it will change one day

You tell me that you are okay
Telling me that you wouldn’t lie to me
I keep hoping you will tell me the truth one day
I still pray that maybe you will see
I keep hoping it will change one day

To see that your not the only one hurting
But also those who are standing at your side
Maybe some day you will start caring
But I keep standing there showing faith and pride
I keep hoping it will change one day

You know what I beg you to drop
I knew you needed a friend
You knew the things I asked you to stop
But I also knew the things that you intend
I keep hoping it will change one day

I hear the sound of keys growing nearer
Is this a dream
The sound keeps growing clearer
I wanted to run I wanted to scream
I keep hoping it will change one day

I see you on the other side I reach out
And I feel nothing
I’m crying out to you , I begin to shout
Why wont you say something
I keep hoping it will change one day

I see your face and its streaming with tears
Suddenly it’s hard to swallow
Asking me to help your face full of fear
Everything I’ve ever known is hard to follow
I keep hoping it will change one day

I close my eyes
I want to run and hide it will all go away
Buts sadly its to my surprise
You cant run you must stay and pray
I keep hoping it will change one day

Pulling my hair in a crying rage
Feeling use less and let down
But I’m strong so I turn the page
As I lay here in sadness as I drown
I keep hoping it will change one day

I am strong and I have hope
It will turn out for the best
Cause I have learnt to cope
And not get so depressed
I keep hoping it will change one day

I wouldn’t have changed it at all
I here to fight till the end
I’m always there to help you when you fall
I’m your helping hand when you need a lend
I keep hoping it will change one day

I keep hoping it will change on day
I give it time
Im here to help every step of the way
To pay for everything even the crime

As my mom and dad
I hold you close to my heart
I know its sad
Hold your head up high and be strong while we’re apart.
