If There's An Alternate Universe...



If there's an alternate universe
A universe where one can experience the happiness of all the lives they lived when they move on
I hope there is one where my mother is happy
With a husband who appreciates her for all her worth
Treats her with love and patience
Definitely not a child that gives her as much trouble as I did
And a happy, healthy environment where she's allowed to express
Where's she's allowed to have her personality without anyone thinking she's too dramatic
Too complaint filled
One where she has little reasons for complaints
And learns to appreciate life as it is

If there's an alternate universe somewhere
I hope there's is one where my mother is happy
Genuinely so

And if there's not, and there's a next life
I hope she also is happy

And most importantly of all, in this life she lives
I hope she can be able to find full happiness
In this moment now
