Hurt No More

Sometimes I show you my hurt
by leaking out my feelings
in emotional outburst

Sometimes I tell you things
that your rigid heart
need not carry......

I stare at myself deep
in the mirror,
and see your face smiling
back at me;
though without the mirror,
your innocent cheeks are in tears at times

Worry not;
the mirror shows the Happiness
that is in store for us,
though we cannot see it yet.......

True Patricia; I tried to frame a picture where vulnerability and strength of love appears in the relationship between mother and daughter. Thanks for reading me. Regards, Teddy.
