I Love You

I know that you are leaving, 
Things happened just like that. 
I'm really going to miss you, 
We all know that it's a fact. 
I don't know how to say this, 
But I want to make it clear. 
I love my family, 
But there is this special person who I hold so dear. 

It wants to be let out, 
From the bottom of my heart. 
It wants to be known, 
And I really want to tell you. 
Mommy, you are leaving. 
Why? Because Bush said so. 
I don't want you to leave me, 
But you have to go. 
I will miss you while you're gone, 
Justin and Erika will, too. 
Just remember this one this one thing - 
Mommy, I love you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this the year my mother told me she might have to go to Iraq for military purposes. I was pissed. I was upset. I painted it for my mom, and never actually gave it to her, just burnt it when I found out she didn't have to go because she was the only living parent for both my sister and I.
