For Apricot... Who would know Looking upon your youth That your slender shoulders Carry far more weight Than anyone should? I remember when Your smile was free & Caution had no place Within the honey brown Of your unadulterated gaze But you have come to know The greatest loss of all & These strong brown arms Cannot reach to repair even The smallest corner Of your broken heart But I am here Insensitive ones speak Carelessly of what They do not know Pointing fingers Offering false comfort Mature but jaded eyes View a figure unmarred But fail to see a soul Now scarred Still, you stride proud & sure Unwilling to dignify or Acknowledge this sort I am so proud... You'd beheld & bonded With your brand new little one A few precious moments I, for little more than Twenty years Yet you, my beloved daughter Have taught me The true meaning Of Motherhood...

beautiful words she will surely treasure, from a mother's heart---lovely and so very touching.. "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

Wow. Very, very touching. Seeing our loved ones in pain is heart-wrenching; seeing them carry it with such grace, speaks well of what they've been taught. hugs and warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

This is beautiful. I'm sure that she loves it. One part that jumped out at me was...... "Insensitive ones speak Carelessly of what They do not know Pointing fingers Offering false comfort Mature but jadded eyes View a figure unmarred But fail to see a soul Now scarred Still, you stride proud & sure Unwilling to dignify or Ackowledge this sort" Before someone walks in another person's shoes, they can not completely understand what someone else is going through. Therefore, they should keep their judgmental opinions to themselves..... "Love makes the world go around" |

And this is perfect, exactly what a daughter would need of a mother..compassion and support, continued understand and love. Your words certainly contain all of this. |
