Why the Triangles Open Mouth Mo thers Fathers & Children Triangles Mother loves father Father loves children Children love parents Mother loves children Father loves mother Children step back There is love and there is Love There are cookies and there are Cookies Warm milk and cold milk Acceptance and accept Me I am different And do not know your differences For you have led a life I know nothing of; But you know all of me. Osmosis doesn’t work Child to parent Only parent to child For you have seen all of me; I have seen less of you; And less of you is seen by me if you Carry on with only you. You know stories I do not know; Holding secrets to protect ~ But what happens If the secrets bleed and contaminate And lend themselves To My child? Talk to me. Tell me what I need to know Before it is Beyond the grave. Do not be ashamed, Truth will come to light Although At whose cost? Lend to me the skirts of your love And the shirt of travail Let the thought of child open your mouth So the child might open theirs To knowledge And Understanding. Only then Will forgiveness Begin Triangles Open mouth Tell what you can In the stories of our fabric and then, Then Will we understand Comprehend Know the Why.

Karilea...It is important to pass on stories...I think sometimes we think it's not important, but it is a thread that helps stitch one generation to next...as is poetry. |

"For you have seen all of me; I have seen less of you." ---that line just popped out at me, as I have often found that to be the scenario in my own life. "Osmosis doesn't work"--open communication does. A full-bodied write with layers of meaning. Warm hugs, Linda |

one we are we are one mother daughter father son family one apart yet all together of one heart. what I consider a self-introspection poem, nicely done my slighty northern friend. |

Acceptance and accept Me Yes...this is truly a wonderful piece of writing. I have never know my own parents as they would never share themselves with their children. I never felt accepted. Now there is someone in my life (I don't know how long he will be...as you know) but each time I see him he tells me, "the two most important words in the English language are forgiveness and acceptance." I question his philosophies in other areas...this one I do not. For from forgiveness and acceptance, love may grow. Sorry for the lengthy response...you took my thoughts on a cruise! Patricia |

YOU... oh this...THIS: "For you have seen all of me; I have seen less of you; And less of you is seen by me if you Carry on with only you." I COULD quibble yanno--there's still mysterious sides to MY mom too, but oh, hugging you for this. Thank you.  shaking my head here lady... you are wringing them out these days. |
