Obligations She had lots to say Her words were like honey to a bear I could not get enough She spoke with a mixed accent hands drawing pictures in the air as she talked of places and people long ago What mysteries she brought from across the sea secrets of the grand ladies only the privledged would be privy too For a pound note her father would line up votes a lavish party or two and she watched as the power and influence flowed Servants meticulously dressed There to attend the guests as need be Food served first to the them Her mother concious of their dignity Their need to be taken care of and in return respect for her postion and their loyalty No servant left to want No need to steal what they felt was shared Knowing they too were privledged and proud to play their part I remember when she returned to her homeland going back to take care of those who nutured her since childhood The cooks, the chauffer, the houseboys The last of her family gone now She would secure their futures It was a trust she would not betray... |

That's a sad tale that I'm afraid to say I know all to well...not so much in terms of affluence...but in the obligations that as the daugther I'm supposed to fulfill. It goes far beyond just being born and making your family proud! Yv-Goddess of Her Domain. Symbol of Truth Passion Pain. Let Her Smile Rain on the Hearts of the Innocent. |

Yv, Yes, being a daughter holds great responsibility. But the rewards can be tremendous. If you are fortunate to have a mom, nothing can be greater than a mother daughter relationship whether you are born into it or adopted it. No one in this life will ever love you in the same way or have your interests at heart as a loving mother. The greatest gift a daughter can give is just being there! Hugs, SG |
