Best Motherless Poems


Motherless
My mother believed kids should be seen and not heard
And that teens have no right to be sad
They contribute nothing, everything is done for them
What reason to be upset could they have?
She didn't seem to get that kids have feelings
And teenagers have more than most
It's...

Motherless Child
You walk around without a clue
The memories you've missed, have also missed you
Yet you keep on going without looking left or right
The big picture is nowhere in sight
You continuously repeat the cycle
I had to release myself from you.

I completely understand the life you were faced
But...

A Motherless Child
Life wasn't suppose to turn out this way
I still ask God why even up to this day
How could he allow this to be
The tears, the pain doesn't he see
Imagine you were my first funeral that i had to attend
How can one lose not only her...

The Motherless Child
Whispers in your ear you fear

The child with no mother is near

As she promotes her soul within

To see you lifeless cunning grin

The warped faze and constant glaze

Undress your body with ever rage

As she smells fear from near your maze

Your mind at ease is restless peace

The...

To the Motherless Child
Looking into your laughing eyes
I can't help but wonder...
Did you or did you not know
That the one you cling to is only 
an aunt?
That your mother still young had 
fallen aside?
That this world you jump in is 
dying with vice?

I cry when I see you...

Motherless Child
I've raised myself for more than 12  long years; Never had a mother to console me in the midst of tears
I never had a mother to show how to be a "lady" or to cook & clean; Nor did I have a father to...

Motherless Child
Motherless Child 

In her breathless eyes of teary blue
I gently gasped in and out of view. 

Born out of pain into an empty room,
torn in vain from a barren womb. 

My infant heart had come to rest
upon the heaving of her breast.

No words needed, none...

Premium Member Requiem for a Motherless Child
I was buried in a tomb for unknown persons.
When I was alive I knew nothing of this life.
Now that I'm dead I seem to have acquired it all.
My heartless mother abandoned me, unwanted,
Left me on the cold stairs of the door of Poor Claire's.
The rain...

No Longer the Motherless Daughter
Today’s the day they bury the woman who birthed me.
Not my mother.
There is no sadness in my thoughts.
No tugging at the heart.
The tender bond between a mother and daughter we did not share.
She was merely a woman in the world of billions who chose life...

Premium Member Requiem For A Motherless Child
The weeds have sheathed the garden from its care as more nails than wood appear of a house lacking adjectives. A sun liberated from scathing entrapment amongst an overburdened forest whose boughs are heavily laden and are unforgivingly denied rest. Dark exacts night's flit to...

A Motherless Little Bird
For he has no mother to provide the food,
a poor little bird pecks at drifting cloud and eats the pieces 
that bubbles up in the cloud as a mist to fill his empty stomach.

Fail to withstand midsummer’s burning heat
though the little bird’s wings were grown...

Motherless Womb
The depression is taking over my heart,
 the pain breaking my soul down like crumbles of sand
 how do I fight the pain of a motherless womb?
 the joy of motherhood is slipping from my fingers, 
 so far that I can’t grab it 
...

Premium Member Requiem for a motherless child
oh! gentle breeze! flow past my fingers
to caress the meadow,
Wash my fair feet, silver stream 
as you whisper to the pebbles,
watch my face as you float white clouds!
high up in the blue, blue sky,
smile at me, wave to me, spring flowers,
and not mock at my...

I had just gotten off of the rail car, and the train had departed the station.
I was about to leave when suddenly faint "meowing" had caught my attention.
I searched for the source's locality
and came upon a most unfortunate tragedy.
Laying smack in the middle of the...

Motherless
I wake in sweats
Drenched in the regrets
Of a desert womb
This empty tomb
Where lie the never born
Whom I may never mourn
Never mourn this constant lack
That has me forever in deepest black
Never sit and talk beside their graves
For I can never bury the bodiless babes
Never sit and...
