Another Mother’s Day is here Time to put on that smile Pretend that you’re a loving mom You haven’t that in a while My friends all have fond memories Mom’s tender loving care Those memories elude me Were you even there? No hugs, no kisses, no caring I existed on my own Biding my time til I could leave That cold, passionless home When I became a mother I remembered what to do I hugged my kids every day And told them I loved them too On Mother’s Day I celebrate Not what you have given me But for the fact that I became A better mother than you could be. |

Poet deVine, Wow...this is powerful. Sorry you did not have the love you sought from her growing up, but very glad to see you learned from her mistakes...that in itself is priceless. This is superb writing filled with such strong emotion, Sharon. Thank you for sharing it here.

Could sure relate to this poem. I tried very hard to write a lovely Mothers Day poem , but found I couldn't. It all came out bitter. You have done a beautiful job, while getting the message across.Shall we tackle Fathers Day now??!! |
