Happy Mothers Day

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your Mother's Day greeting through your unique poetic style. I'm a social worker taking care of abandoned, neglected, and orphaned children, so I can somehow relate to your muse... Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Wow... I often wonder how some parents can Be so blind..?? I have seen some examples and Some to a large extent do not realise the effect They have on the children.. Yet we do have our Independance (so its not imoossible to get ) An equilibrum theres the pull of not wanting to Feel these thoughts.? Love yearns for reciprocation to a great extent..I leave it there May your day be well.'

simply heartbreaking on so many levels Art, hugs jan xx

Arthur, I often wonder why people have children when they don't really want them. The way you have addressed this seems to suggest you've made peace with all that came before. I truly hope that you have. From my own experience, I think we never truly escape from feelings in our upbringing, but we can behave in a way going forward that reflects how we would have liked to have been treated. That can do a lot. On a grander scale, we should behave as a country that improves on our past a la your America Never Learns poem.

There are as many bad mothers as there are good mothers but no one seems to understand. I'm with you on your poem. Thank you for this pertinent write.

Wow what a heart felt write many blessing.

How very sad Arthur! I hope this is fiction my friend?….Debx
