I Dreamt About You Poem by Susan Thomas

I dreamed about you again last night,
Same sad dream since I lost the fight.
I dreamed when I lost you, I got you all back,
And I couldn't have been happier to help you unpack.

It's been five years since they took you away,
And I think about you every single day.
I cry at night when I go to sleep,
Because my parental rights I could not keep.

I'm so sorry I failed you as your mother,
Now you're adopted by another.
It hurt so much to watch you all go,
I just want you all back more then you know.

Now I'm trying to learn to live with the pain,
But sometimes I feel like I'm going insane.
I hope, when you're older, you'll come looking for me,
Just know that I will love you for all eternity.
