Mommy Where Did You Go

In and out it comes and goes confusion along with grief Back and forth it rocks showing minute signs of relief Questions so many Answers so few Searches of parties Searches of you Anger is it's feet, that walk across the heart Sadness is it's hands, that seem to rip it apart You left us, you went away for some unknown reason You chose,or was forced not to stay For years that seem no end, I cry, I wait, I hide For years so cold back then, without you by our side. Needing you more, that darkness needs light We needed a stronger you, we needed you to fight. BLACK WOMAN, BLACK MOTHER, BLACK QUEEN Your children still need you, the answer to our dream. It matters not the facts of your dilemma, the facts of your pain. Strong family ties, yet still here for the gain It matters not, what we did or did not know It matters only room for forgiveness to grow. In and out it comes God will the pain ever cease? God say's..... "Come follow me my child, for I shall give you peace He did. Mommy where do you go? Somewhere, Some Place, only God knows.

First let me tell you - that you have written a beautiful poem, with a lot of pain and deep feelings. It takes courage to write somethin like this. I know because my mom left us too. We have to learn to forgive. I also see that you are new here. Welcome to the Soup. Keep writing. Lucilla
