Mother's Eyes

Mother punishes her child 
                             Child stops crying when pain is gone
                                  After that tear begins to flow on
                                     Silently from mother's eyes

Yes, poignant. Perhaps play with forms to hone your obvious skills.

BL, although I have no children, I'm sure parents feel worse than their children do after punishment is imposed. Very powerful message here and a sad, poignant image. Love, Carolyn
