Happy Mothers Day

I was often sad 
alone as a child
the stroller with no face
a forgotten object
an obligation
my father was no better
my mother is dead now
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
finally

Duke Beaufort Date: 5/5/2024 10:31:00 AM Arthur, I often wonder why people have children when they don't really want them. The way you have addressed this seems to suggest you've made peace with all that came before. I truly hope that you have. From my own experience, I think we never truly escape from feelings in our upbringing, but we can behave in a way going forward that reflects how we would have liked to have been treated. That can do a lot. On a grander scale, we should behave as a country that improves on our past a la your America Never Learns poem.
Hilda Greenhough Date: 5/5/2024 4:08:00 AM There are as many bad mothers as there are good mothers but no one seems to understand. I'm with you on your poem. Thank you for this pertinent write.

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 5/4/2024 5:11:00 PM oh, your poem was filled with sadness, made me teary eyed. I felt such abandonment...and that's devastating to a child's soul. Thanks for sharing & have a pleasant evening, Sara
Lin Lane Date: 5/4/2024 6:50:00 AM You've made me teary eyed. I'll be over with a bottle of your favorite wine, and we can write happier thoughts together. Hugs for this one, Art.

Eileen Manassian Date: 5/4/2024 3:22:00 AM Awwwwwww... this tugs at the heart. No one can replace a mother. I've been without mine for 24 years now. What a heartfelt write. I feel your pain
