Mothers Hear

When your fledgling heart is breaking and tears silently start to fall... mothers hear. When you whisper of secret loves suppressing muffled cries of joy... mothers hear. When lies are rehearsed in your mind, and before you utter a word... mothers hear. When you struggle to stifle screams, entombed in a cone of silence... mothers hear. When you learn to laugh at yourself and take life less seriously... mothers hear. When you mumble, I love you, Mom, and the words come straight from your heart... mothers hear. (Free Verse) 5/4/2015

Lovely, Emile. I needed to read something about mothers today. I lost mine 15 years ago, and I still miss her. The things you mentioned in the poem...are things she knew about me intuitively. Lovely. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for your visit to me today. I've been, in a sense, away for a time. I will be back soon....Hugs
