A Mothers Love

They say a mothers love is the strongest? They say the bond between mother and daughter can’t be broken? You walked along the street, never looking behind I was 5, but knew, we could not rewind You were gone, leaving me alone What would happen, would you change your mind A letter, a visit, or just phone? No fight for your first born My young heart was left torn You looking forward to your new life My dad alone, without his wife Now a lover to his best friend Was this a bad dream that would soon end? Years passed with little contact I tried to forgive, make an effort But you had two others and I had lost you forever You were my mum, yet still a stranger I now have a son, my pride and joy And our bond will never break, nor be destroyed Cause a mothers love is the strongest, except for a few I guess I was unlucky, but you were too Thirty five years missed, forgotton memories, no regrets I hope he was worth it, cause I have my dad And his love is the best.

Thank you. It is sad, but made me the strong person I am today. I just wish I'd got creative years ago!!
