The Art

I now know why I could never love my mother. One I should have held above all others. I lived in limbo year after year shed far too many useless tears. Until wisdom stopped by one day, asked me if I ever prayed. I said I begged in every way to find the strength to hear myself say, Mother, I forgive you everything on this day.
