Mothers Let Go

Giving birth is indeed great 
and being proud of it, is natural....
but holding  on those lives is a sin. 
Mothers let go...

You are not their lives...
It's not yours either... it's theirs.
And you have your own no matter 
where you've reached in life ..
No matter what ...
the so much you have been doing for your kids...
Mothers do.

They are as much human species as you...
You won't stay to live with them..
You won't stay to live for them..
Or live their lives with them.
So let go...
Mothers should.

You had your chances;
You lived it or not.
You were successful or not.
You were happy or not.
They do not have to answer for this
Or bear it with you.
By binding you are distancing and
not making them any closer. 

So noble mothers be noble
and let them go.

Allen Beilschmidt Sr. April 7, 2019 at 2:18 PM Judging from my with and my son, and everything I've ever heard, it's hard for a mother to let go but let go they must. A very well penned poem. All my best Sunita, Allen Sunita U.D Palawon April 8, 2019 at 11:41 AM True it's hard...but hardening the heart is what a mother should learn from the beginning. Thanks for the visit friend.
