Momma Please Forgive Me

I cry when I think about my mom
I was bad at being a son
I thought she had so many
that she loved more than me.
The son that always
seamed too busy
to even
visit
her

so sad, so stirring, so sad... much like the burning of a heart who feels the music beyond breathless, simply amazing. Love this sir. God bless you always, love, Gina

Hindsight is twenty/twenty, they say. Sounds like you may be a little too tough on yourself, my friend.

I'm sure you are correct. But sometimes I see or hear something that reminds me of her, and I tend to get a little melancholy.

A powerful/wonderful yet sad write. Moms forgive because that is what they do. I would give your write to her. Have a great day writing away........................

Thank you, my friend. Perhaps old age is what makes me appreciate my childhood more.

Many times, life does have a tendency to get in the way. It is even worse when youth can make one think they have all the time in the world left to them.
