Beautiful Mum

I see the sadness in your eyes i feel your broken within it hurts me as i stand before you my arms just want to hold you a grown woman with so much grief, like a child you weep I listen to your stories time after time & wonder where to begin so much hurt locked inside i can hear it as you speak As a child you lost both parents & placed into a girls home because noone wanted you only to have your brother whom was away come & rescue you He took you in & taught you the facts of life & you stayed awhile years had gone by & you had now moved on & made a family of your own life was finally good till one night you were prepearing for bed & heard a stern knock at the door their he stood the local officer with tears streaming down his face what you asked with an angry tone im sorry to inform you but your brother has died along with his two children & his long time mate A drink driver had failed to stop! From that night on you were never the same As life moved on you spent many years battered from the man you deeply loved untill one day you said enough is enough! I have grown up right beside you & you have raised me well & as i stand before you i am pleased you are now seeking help i finally see hope in your eyes & as i listen i now hear strength & i know now you will be ok my beautiful mum...

Your mum is a very courageous lady, and you are too! Writing can be very cathartic. I encourage you to continue as it will help you become more confident. This is a special poem. God bless, Keith
