“Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord”
Is what my mother would always say
And all of a sudden, in the blink of an eye
That stupid quote makes so much sense today
My heart and soul are fighting a war
Against my noble brain
But sitting in the darkness too long
Will drive this bitch insane
“Give it to God” she’s say
As if I felt I ever could
But times like this call for a fight
Greater than myself
So I wash my hands clean
Of the weight of the world’s issues
And hand all of my shit over now
To whomever runs the show
Cuz’ I know they obviously care
How could they not?
When I look into the eyes that contain
The beautiful gift herself
My children, my husband
My family
My everything
My world is wrapped up in their light
But the words she said ring true
Seeing past the surface is great
I just sit back now like, “Wheeewww!”
I can relax now- all the weight is gone
I couldn’t have won the battle without you mommy
I miss and love you so
