Renee from Episodes by A Language Learned

It smells like cheap hotel and cigarette smoke on my clothing.
You're upset again and you fight to keep from showing.
You spent the last of all your bread to make certain I was fed.
You went without to make sure I was sheltered and inside my bed.
Lost your life to complications, but you wouldn't leave your kids.
Spent half a year with kidney failure stuck inside the building.
Where family never came, the drugs were more important.
As an 8 year old, I've learned my view was quite distorted.

Remember you said bye once and I didn't understand.
Smiling at me crying, holding face inside your hands
"Please watch over Cody, he's your brother keep him safe"
"Hopefully one day I'll take you both to my place"
"Where you'll be happy, you'll be healthy,proud to call me Mom"
I am here today to tell you that you have done nothing wrong.
I'm happy, I'm healthy and I'm thankful everyday.
For the fact I have the both of you to call my family.

I'd die for you both
So you
Could see
The
Morning

And to know
That you will be thinking of me
Will make everything that I've done
All the more rewarding
