You Saved My Life



You are the rainbow,
You are the light within the dark,
You are the sun,
You are the love that beats within my heart,

You saved my life.

You are the summer,
You are a flowering blossom,
You are my daughter & I am your mother,

You saved my life.

You are my cloud of shade,
You are my beauty,
You are the blessing from drought to rain

You saved my life.

You are my star that glitters at night,
You are my soul,
You are my strength to always win the fight,

You saved my life.

You are my recovery,
You are my angel,
You are my reasons for my faith & discovery

You saved my life.

About this poem

Loosing custody of a child or into care due to domestic violence or addiction, it’s absolutely harrowing . I believe it isn’t spoken enough about how was a mother you grieve the loss of your child. This poetry is very personal to me as I went and still am going through this with my daughter. Your child is the love of your life. I believe this poetry is vitally important to mothers who have been through this situation or are suffering at this moment in time This poetry is a voice for mothers that your not alone. I understand your pain. I hope this poetry heals and consoles you. You are not alone
