Mother

Love in its purest form
Pain in the deepest wounds
when your  family goes
astray you are not well.
time will heal most wounds
except when left by your 
child/grandchild that you 
have nurtured and cuddled
since birth and loved with 
the deepest love you know
how to bestow. 
Pray, pray pray and 
know it is not to your blame.



I love you Mom!

For Sara Kendrick
thanks for all you do and did through the years, thanks for giving up your piece of cake and 
hoe cake cornbread.

Nicely written. Nobody ever said life would be easy but there is the other side. Keep writing. Mom

Oh, the pain of a mother's heart. Children gone astray? How difficult indeed. Someday they will understand, for they will experience that same pain and then, they will know. A nice write and thank you for your comments on my poems as well. Caroline.
