Unbroken

I gave them all, my heart, my soul,

The love that made me feel whole.

In every step, I watched them grow,

Protecting them, through highs and lows.

I kept them safe, my greatest task,

In warmth and care, I wore no mask.

A home of peace, a place to dream,

Where love flowed free, or so it seemed.

But lies were told, and hearts betrayed,

By one who saw their light, yet swayed.

Aunt’s love for them turned bitter, cold,

And with her words, the truth was sold.

She spun her tale, so full of strife,

A story that cut deep like a knife.

But those who knew me, who saw the truth,

Would stand beside me, speak of youth.

They saw the mom who gave her all,

Through every rise, through every fall.

I never failed them, never did harm,

I kept them close, safe from alarm.

Though you're in New York, and I'm in Kentucky,

The distance grows, but my love’s still lucky.

I’ve faced my battles, yet I stand tall,

But nothing can break the love that won’t fall.

Please forgive me for the mistake I made,

For trusting her with hearts she betrayed.

For letting you visit, not knowing the cost,

Now I’m fighting, no matter what’s lost.

My daughters, my reason, my breath, my fight,

You are my dawn, my endless light.

No matter the lies that try to divide,

My love for you, will never subside.

I’ll never stop, no matter the pain,

Until you’re in my arms, safe once again.

For you are mine, and I am yours,

Our bond unbroken, forever yours.
