As Selfless As a Mother Can Be

As selfless as a mother can be Attending to her six children’s needs Forgot to etch out any time for her own interests Sorrowful indeed when they all moved away Attending to her six children’s needs Overseeing their activities with pride Sorrowful indeed when they all moved away For she had neglected to glean her own hobbies Overseeing their activities with pride Forgot to etch out any time for her own interests Sorrowful indeed when they all moved away As selfless as a mother can be

A great pantoum! It flowed and it flew to mothers everywhere as a reminder...

A lovely pantoum Caren - that will never happen to us because we have our poetry. But a mother is selfless and will sacrifice anything for her children. Great write. Blessings Jennifer.
