Ignored and Rejected

IGNORED AND REJECTED

A colder climate
Is there anywhere
Than in a family 
With no one to care?

A colder climate
Doubt you’ll detect
Than in same family
Mother they neglect

A colder climate
Not anywhere on earth
Than where…Mom’s ignored,
By child they gave birth!

Spoken like a mother who has seen this happen or had it happen to them. Children are our greatest joy but they can break our hearts into a million pieces. This poem is so profound. Wonderfully written Barbara! : )

The very coldest and harshest climate for sure Barbara. How utterly sad that any child should ignore and reject a parent when that parent now needs them.. A beautifully expressed heartbreaking poem! Warmest wishes. ~Susan

Barbara, your expressed emotions in your poem are beautiful, deeply moving and touching and I would encourage you to continue sharing your lovely, even if sad, poetry. I want to feel your words and share in your poetic experience whether happy or sad, my friend.. ~Sue

Susan, sad because time is not as available as his generous gift giving. Out of town or country. I just miss what use to have. I have funny poems to cheer you up. Thanks for sharing comments that encourage me to be courageous in sharing things not funny.
