The Road To Hell
It should have been a âthank youâ
Instead it was a âfuck youâ,
a phrase that I have come to know so well.
I tried to help you out here,
to be your one support here,
yet all I âhereâ is oh please go to hell!
Your pleading never changes
and neither your exchanges,
when you say,this time things will all be well,
I break my back to please you,
to comfort and appease you,
yet at the end Iâm still consigned to hell.
I know full well you use me
but you will never lose me,
because  thatâs what I think  a mothers for,
to take the flack and bear it,
smile sweetly, never share it
and every time come crawling back for more.

Well said Lodi! I know just where you are coming from ..we can only do the best we can and gird our loins for the subsequent kick in the Ass !!! Great piece xx
Thank you so much Stevie! xxx
Lady L I think that they always realise eventually and the sheepish look says it all. Until then you have to grin and bear it but as for going to hell I know a few of the Angels and I've told them not to let you in. So there.
Your friend Nigel.
hahaha Nigel you always make me laugh! and I have no doubt you consort with angels my lovely friend! and yes I have seen that sheepish look..however it usually precedes ..'can you?.....ah the pains of parenthood that's why poetry is such a balm to the spirit. Thank you so muchÂ

i saved it and will ever be thankful for the gift.
thought provoking and a great example of âmotheringâ

Oh John you sound like a man after my own heart!...sometimes once I start writing comments I get so involved in my own feeling towards the poem that I dont know when to stop either.. so pleased you have found inspiration in it though and I hope to read your 'commentary poem' soon..Thank you so much for your generous and lovely words.  Lodigiana x
