'I Wonder What She Dreamed For You!'

‘I Wonder What She Dreamed For You!’

You talk about the scars that were given you by your Mother, with anger, hurt and rejection in your eyes. It is easy to despise one who would do that to her child. Surely she didn’t plan to be that way before you were born. I wonder what she dreamed for you! What took those dreams away? And, what led her down the path she took?

Did your Mother smile with pride the first time she saw you on the sonogram and dream of the day you would lie in her arms?

Did your Mother think while holding your tiny hand about asking God to guide her as she guided you?

Did your Mother look into your eyes with tears of joy, and promise to love and lead you down the right path?

Did your Mother’s heart hold big dreams of the person you would become, and the things you would do? And did she dream of leading, inspiring, and encouraging you to fulfill those dreams?

Did your Mother dream of teaching you to love God? Did she dream of you growing into a person of strong character? Did she dream of a great relationship with you? Then, what took those dreams away?

Was heartache the reason your Mother buried her dreams? Or was it trauma, abuse, or despair? Did fear, confusion, or the mere hopelessness of those dreams in her mind, cause her to find solace in other things? Did drugs or alcohol dull her senses so much they became the only important thing in her life? Are they the culprit that caused her to forget those dreams? Then when their effect wore off did she re-medicate to forget the guilt over the heartache and scars she was causing you? I wonder what she dreamed for you, and what took those dreams away?
