You can go through life, chip miles wide,
You can hold a grudge, keeping pride.
It doesnβt change; I loved you at first breath,
And if outlived. I'll deeply mourn your death
I'll always love you, though blamed for mistakes,
As much as you hate, that's how much a heart breaks.
I know you felt I wasn't there
And believed, I didnβt care
You felt I put others first more,
You only remember we scrimped, dirt poor.
I still nursed you, comforted every cry,
And still, you often felt, my love a lie.
You blamed me for lacking, I know I never did,
Giving kisses was something I never hid
You blocked abuse a father did to you,
I left him for what he put us through
I carried you, giving a nutritious part of me,
Sorry if expectations weren't what they should be
So hold chips close to you, find comfort in this,
I'll always be your mother; someday I'll be missed.

Quite beautiful, Lisa. Sometimes all the beautiful things you do are taken for granted, and maybe forgotten a little, but the other things, that aren't as common, stick out more because they're not normal, and are remembered.Β
Judging from what I've seen of you as a person and friend so far, I'm sure you're an awesome mom, and you'll be rewarded.Β
Great write, Lisa.Β

unfortunately, this poem is very true...My oldest daughter despises me. My youngest just can't understand why. I keep holding out hope...someday my oldest will forgive. thank you, Matthew, for your support.

Β
Thank you Edward
Wow, wonderful !
Thank you John. This poem for me took a very long time to write. when it comes to a personal struggle I find writing to be very difficult.Β
WOW...a change of style and I love it, so heartfelt and so sad for being based on truth. I'm so sorry Lisa, motherhood doesn't come with instructions as I also have found out and all we can do is our best as it seems at the time. Our children never belong to us, they grow into their own separate islands as we all do but the invisible bond between mother and child is the strongest in the universe I think, it wins through in the end. Have hope ?
