Mother, forgive me my trespasses, this pain you suffer by my hand does not reflect my love for you, these foolish acts which I inflict upon your gentle face, lovely still, are a thoughtless affront by your sons, who forget too easily your patience, and the endless love you possess, for these, your foolish children. these scars, thoughtlessly dispensed, which dull your matchless beauty, etching lines upon your brow before your time, are cruel, and an abomination to my eyes, stretch out your hand dear one, so that this prodigal might return to right the wrongs of a lifetime, my mother, my sanctuary, my earth. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Pegasus~ Oh my ... this is just so effectively done. How she cries out and we do not hear - You've touched me deeply with this piece, my friend. I hope you will consider submitting this to the main site. It is worthy. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Very well done pegasus..... Had me horrified until the last line, then realized,............. I still should be concerned! Excellent ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" |
