If I could,

I would disassemble myself and rearrange the pieces;

throwing out the broken, unfolding the crooked,
redefining the edges, sanding the bumps.

I would put me together with all the right ingredients;

lacing me with love, kindness and understanding,
not forgetting brightness and happy.

I would fix me for you, for anything you needed;

soften my bones to be a pillow for your head,
harden my skin to hold you up when you can't.

I would erase my mistakes and rewrite my future;

you would still be in my arms every night,
smiling me awake every early morning.

I would give up everything, all of it for you;

if I could be anything in the world,
I'd just want to be the mother you deserve.
I miss my daughter...

from the heart, very sad, but beautifully written
