Mother angry with son, asking him what went wrong with such an understanding gesture: get down to the boy's level; and they make up with a hug. Love is not always letting children do what they want, but to correct them when they make mistake. drawing of a mother talking to child stock illustrations

My mother said for maybe, could be the sixth Time, or was that the coming up to a higher number like twelfth Time, to behave as I should, not like a child spoilt Of course, that was with absolutely no warmth Only warmth there was from the fire that engulfed Me, from the old rock fireplace when I occasionally traipsed Around in front of the hearth with many of those excerpts Running around in my brain, about her heart that was pierced I never understood what momma said in my depth Until I became a mom and said, amongst So many things, just because I said so for the sixth Time, mommas say so many words times eighth

IE, we are okay. Doris is recovering from total knee replacement surgery. It is not easy on her nor her family. It will get well but it takes time. Thanks for dropping by with a nice review of my work. My mother said, "when the children a little they will walk on your feet and when they get grown, they will walk on your heart". Sara K
