Jill Spagnola Poet Prose Poetry

Someday

Someday

When again your world comes crashing down
I will weep without a sound

When you are locked away a huge part of me is right there with you

How many more times will it take to get that the easy way to success
Is almost always the wrong way and cannot be kept

Exactly what does success mean for you
If it is merely monetary as it seems 
Your world will continue to crash

How many times can a mother’s heart crash and not break


                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Angelo’s mom

Richard Lamoureux August 19, 2015 at 8:40 AM With each mistake hopefully a valuable lesson will be learned. Unfortunately we can't protect our children from theirselves. Jill Spagnola August 19, 2015 at 9:15 AM Oh Richard, there is nothing in this world that makes my heart ACHE more, then my first born Son losing years of his youth and continuing on the same path over and over. Thank your for your words of hope and wisdom, as the silent tears continue to flow, jill

Ian Jones August 19, 2015 at 5:49 AM Painful write. Expresses the frustration of not being able to get through. One of my quotes is, If you measure life in terms of money you will always be short changed. Sound value systems take away the veils of success. Kind regards, Ian Jill Spagnola August 19, 2015 at 6:04 AM Yes Ian ghastly painful, my hands are so tied. Thank you for your kindness and perception, jill
