So Many Mothers

Kindheartedness to me Comes in many forms Being fostered and cared for As my young life storms Born to a mother Who decided to leave But this seven year old Never wanted to grieve For his words became true As he grew through the years The matrons in children's homes Replaced his tears As he grew to his teens With his friends he did stay For their mother became his So many mothers to this day As i look back To the women in my life They all became my mother And saved my life from strife Kindheartedness to me Came in many, many forms So many unlike my mother Seen me through the storms

This world is amazing, full with love and hate equally; if one avoids in another place someone ready to accept by heart....beautiful poem shared; pleasure to read.......

It's so true James. Love is where you find it. I also was blessed with many "mothers" as my mom was so unwell for most of my life. See Mom's Malaise in three parts for the story. You've written a beautiful tribute to the women who opened their heart to you. Quite lovely. In fact, this goes into my favorites. Thank you.

A wonderful tribute to the many Mothers who are much more than Mothers, James. And I'm extremely happy to know that there was some one there for you...so many are not as lucky!! Thanks for reading and posting those kind comments for me. You know I always appreciate them. Peace, love, Audrey

God bless all of the women who showed you kindness, James. Your appreciation for them shines in your heartfelt poem. I'm so glad they were there to support you through "the storms." Much love to the Highlander, Carolyn
