Mother, forgive me my trespasses,
this pain you suffer by my hand
does not reflect my love for you,
these foolish acts which I inflict
upon your gentle face, lovely still,
are a thoughtless affront by your sons,
who forget too easily your patience,
and the endless love you possess,
for these, your foolish children.

these scars, thoughtlessly dispensed,
which dull your matchless beauty,
etching lines upon your brow
before your time, are cruel,
and an abomination to my eyes,
stretch out your hand dear one,
so that this prodigal might return
to right the wrongs of a lifetime,
my mother, my sanctuary, my earth.




the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Oh my ... this is just so effectively done.
How she cries out and we do not hear -

You've touched me deeply with this piece, my friend.

I hope you will consider submitting this to the main site.
It is worthy.

Very well done pegasus.....
Had me horrified until the last line, then
realized,.............
I still should be concerned!

Excellent
