Anyone Seen My Mum

Mum I am Searching for you Lies, Lies, but before you die tell me the truth So you had me and gave me away But there was nothing I could do I was just a little one only six weeks old But you were my mum So my life started in a convent and then a foster home Then I ended up in care But you didn’t want to share Anything that you did or with me in your life You just left me as that was your device You hoped I would forget about you But sometimes you sent me shoes And I knew they were from you I have a son, he’s your flesh and blood too But who the hell are you My son is my life And I would rather he not know How you just let us go I don’t know what the reason was But to me I wish I knew Because even though I don’t think you do And without me ever knowing you I however still love you Because you are my Mum! DAMO

Ah Jan thanks so much for your kind words. I only started to write 10 days ago. Honestly I have never ever written before. A friend of mine I met online has given me this gift of poetry & I seem to be finding things within me that I have never before ever expressed. I am sure my Mum had her reasons but it would be good to at least meet one day, if that is even still possible. If it never happens I have at least found my voice and can put things into perspective. All the very best to you DAMO xx

I have a huge lump in my throat reading such a heartfelt write, I can't imagine the pain either of you suffer - you not knowing why you were given up and your mother giving you up to hopefully give you a better life than she thought she could. Maybe one day you will get some answers. Hugs Jan xx
