Mother-As in Mother Earth.
Mother-One who gave us birth.
Mother is a holy word
As sacred as the song I heard
that dried my tears when I would cry;
A comforting Mother's lullaby.
A memory from childhood years
that soothed the heart
and calmed all fears.
Ida Werrett

I would love to know my mother, but when I tried to find her I was met with lies on top of lies.

The woman who raised me, the woman I called mother, only leaves hate in my heart because she was the one who put fear of her in my everyday childhood.

So sorry. That is so sad. I know my mother wasn't perfect but I never doubted that she loved me.

I shouldn't have put my problems on your lovely poem, Ida, I wasn't thinking.

Thank you, Startime. My mother has been gone for some years now but I always remember her singing to us kids. I doubt she would have made it past Simon Cowell but it is still a pleasant memory to me.

This is sweet and tender to my ears, as if you were speaking of my Mother too, dear Ida. What a blessing our Mothers!

Beautiful and heart touching words.
