Maternally Yours
Sorrowful kisses
Placed on a tearful cheek
Flushed with pain and sadness
Comforting arms
Embrace a quivering body
Left shaking with fear and loneliness
Sympathetic words
Caress throbbing ears
As the cries of heartache echo within
Gentle hands
Wipe weeping eyes
That no longer behold
The beauty of ones self-worth
A hopeful smile
Given to a once laughing face
Which now only frowns
With despair and confusion
Understanding silence
Given to impart empathy and love
As only a mother can do
To mend a daughter’s first heartbreak
