Shades of a Mother 6/10/2008 2:24:53 PM
A look at the vast differences between a mother and daughter. I often am taken at the differences between my mother and I. How two people from the same blood are so vastly different astounds me. When I search her soul through her eyes, I am often saddened by what I see. There is not the love for me that I have for mine. I do not doubt she has her own way, as elusive as that may be, but I do not see. Is it that she doesn't want to appear weak by becoming vulnerable to me? Or is it more that she does not see me as her own but as her past staring back at her? Perhaps I look like her past sins that she cannot banish. Maybe when she looks into my eyes she sees her lost youth. Does she blame me? Or is she simply too blind to see? When I look into the soul of mine, I am flooded with the river of love they are to me. I cannot fathom a life without them, they are part of me; without them, I am nothing, I have nothing, I will be nothing.
