A Letter To My Daughter

Little one, I pray you'll never know this struggle
This is my greatest fear

I thought by now I would have recovered
But, but now live has chosen a different course

You are still too young to understand
But the time for your realizations is coming soon

What will I tell you?
How do I explain or justify
My need to starve, to be bone thin?

My love for you is everlasting
I will continue to fight this disease
I can face anything as long as I have you

You are the love of my live
The reason I have not already given up

You are my legacy
My hope and salvation for a better tomorrow
