A Mothers Love

A child never loses the hunger for a mothers love...

What did you see as you gazed in the mirror? Perfumed and painted for your nights on the town? Who did you see when you looked at your child and told her you hated the moment of her birth? which demon lurked in the recesses of your mind to haunt you this way? Who were you striking when you beat her.... a tiny child who loved you? What shriveled your cold cold heart so... that you could not see the face of love and longing That hungering little heart gazing back at you Did you drink so deeply of the bitterness in life your mind embracing the pain that you denied yourself the love your child tried giving you so freely You tried creating another you.. a creature of anger and hate Barren of love and compassion Guess again... You failed..

*Did you drink so deeply of the bitterness in life
your mind embracing the pain
that you denied yourself
the love
your child tried giving you so freely***

So honest,truthful and blunt. Loved every word.

You wrote my childhood in so few, excellently strung echoes, Candida: a passage of life vowed to be changed, to be risen above, and I did. But, as you say, we neve lose the hunger. My mother has been dead for over 18 years, yet there are times when I find myself wanting to call her, tell her of an exciting event in my life: not that she would have been impressed but I always hoped she would be touched. Visit me some time.

Love in Christ~~
