Motherly Mug

Motherly Mug

My son’s first love
the break up it was heart breaking
It had come to shove
and no longer for the taking was

My daughter in the making
to me most caring
Feminine not faking
Hindsight - I was overbearing

So keen was I for
this here dating
Considered future mating
Granny in the making

What fool am I
yearning for this thing
How dare I cry
that is not the way a daughter’s true love comes by

Many thanks Linda for your comments. I am very new to writing and feedback from other writers is exactly what I need, I never thought I'd ever show my work to anyone! I will definitely be taking the time to read your poems. Thanks again. Fiona
