In welcome bows my honesty
and I purportedly can hear
the call of need despairingly
from someone in the atmosphere.

Answer I and seek to find
ways and means of knowing more
but in my open state of mind
my name at birth and that’s all.

Only love, a mother’s love,
sends easily through time and space
the needs of all around, above,
for me to swivel about face.

And from out of my complacency
comes the forceful feel of soul
to suffer not love’s energy
the wayward days of old.

Dealt a royal flush of hearts
my cards, their cards, as one today
await the call or fold of past
too scared to breathe, to pray.

Such is the way of those who care
somewhere up there in God’s own air!

Only love....yes, and a mother's love is so pure...but love itself has the power...any kind. Feeling this poem, dear friend.

Thank you, Martie. Yes, you're right but in this instance I firmly believe it was a mother's love. Some mothers never stop worrying about their children, you know. This one, I think, has a particular bond ... and I guess she suffers the frustration of most mothers when children think they know better.
