You never got anything past me, not really. I always kept my eyes on you, even when you couldn't see me. I had eyes everywhere:at school, home, your friends' houses, and as you grew older your job.626Please respect copyright.PENANAF7B9QuuzDs
I knew when you got in a fight, knew exactly how often you cried, I knew when you were happy and when you needed me to pull me into my arms and hold you, surrounding you with the warmth and love of my embrace. I watched from the distance as you rode your bike up onto the hill I told you not to. I didn't want you to get hurt, but you were determined to jump the ditch on your bike, the same way the older boys did. And I was right there when you can to me crying, ready to take you into my arms, tend to your scrapes and bruises. I had told you that you would get hurt, but like all children, sometimes you had to learn things for yourself.626Please respect copyright.PENANAlliaRXO8n7
I knew the girl you were dating would only break your heart, but you were sixteen, way too smart to fall for those tricks. So I watched you fall, knowing it was the only way you would learn. I hated it, but there was only so much that I could do. I couldn't keep you wrapped up in the safety of a bubblewrap world, I had to let you grow up.626Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ3YrkJEkG
I watched you dance around in your princess dress, wanting to keep you that innocent forever, but I knew I had to let you make friends, get hurt, and see the world wasn't always rainbows and innocence. I watched the days when bullies dimmed your bright smile, and I cried every time you cried yourself to sleep, only you never saw it, for I guarded my tears, to protect you, my little angel.626Please respect copyright.PENANAXIfecsmkxv
I watched you grow, though I never gave birth to you, you were still my baby. I wanted to protect you, but there was only so much I could do. But, I always loved you, because you were my child as far as I was concerned.626Please respect copyright.PENANANyVSBOShW8
I listened to days when you claimed you hated me, was there on days you said you needed me, and I never left you alone, for you carried my love with you whereever you went. This is the confession of a mother.626Please respect copyright.PENANA6ca3G4jifJ
