Mama where are you?
Do you know I pray for you?
I know you\u2019re not happy but you can be.
I miss the times we had, the memories we created.
I know our relationship has been rocky for some time now
but I\u2019m still your Crystal.
Don\u2019t you see, you can see right through me?
Open your eyes and look how far you\u2019ve come.
You are not a complete failure.
Life is not perfect and neither are you.
But Mama, it\u2019s ok because I still love you\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
