All Is Well

When lattice of tears dampen gloomy nights,
Cutting through a ragged shade, a moondust black
Remember me as your protective harbor , a sanctuary
With gentle arms outstretched which understand
Those woeful cries howling a bullied refrain—
For I’ll serenade you with this assurance… never fear
Until  eve’s warm pillow lays itself down;
Then remember me in this unkind world… all is well--
My whisper hums,’ Dear son… you are not alone.”

I think at some point most people are bullied in life. When my dad found out I was being bullied, he taught me how to box. Written as the words of a loving mother, nette. Good luck!

You do not look old enough to have a son, so I have no idea whether this is fact or fiction, but if you do have one, he is a lucky child indeed. I feel goosebumps when I read this poem.It is so heartfelt, Nette!
