Is a Love Without End

My dearest child
My hottest mess
You drive me wild
My source of stress

My mini me
Inside and out
You won’t agree
But I’ve no doubt

It’s truer than true
Opposites attract
But the things you do
The way you act

I see your pain
I struggle too
So much the same
Me and you

You find relief 
In many others
You give me grief
But I’m your mother

I know you well
Do you know me
Can you tell
Do you see 

We’re just alike
My son and I
A lonely type
We ache, inside 

Things are tough
We can’t explain
Good’s not enough
We feel so plain

And so we feen
For other’s praise
But peers are mean
The things they say

If the day, does come
When you see me
As the “okay” mum
I’ve tried, to be

I hope I’m here
To kiss your face
To share a tear
And warm embrace

I can certainly feel the ache, as well as your hope and yearning for that day to come for you and your son. Heartfelt write, Anna. Smiles, Gershon
