Mother I understand we're humans and we make mistakes
We often receive what we cannot give
I sometimes ask, just why can't I live
Do I fault you
Well because of you
I couldn't feel love
I couldn't feel true
In my mind I always knew
There is a god, he tells the truth
Unlike humans who make mistakes
His love won't be fading
That is away
His word does surely say
I love all, just have strong faith
And it's true, I am always

The author's comments:
The thing that inspired me to write this, was the poem called mother to son, I felt that my poem is a response to mother to son, that's why I called it son to mother. I hope the teens who feel what I'm saying in this poem understand that their not alone, and theirs a god who cares.
