Dearest Mother,
I never wanted to be here.
I heard you when you pleaded with me,
When you gave me sound advice.
But I laughed at you inside for your foolishness.
How can you know what it's like to be a teenager?
You're old and don't know anything,
How can you know what youthful tribulations bring?
You gave me everything,
You gave me unconditional love.
Now I realize you only wanted,
For me the best.
Many times did I put,
Your love to the test.
You bailed me out,
You brought me home.
Again and again you brought me love,
Along with warnings about life.
Now I'm here amidst my own strife,
I thought I was in control,
Of my own life.
I must go now they are coming for me,
To hang me on the gallows tree.
Pray for me as I go,
Dearest Mother,
I love you so.
WOW! WAlt,

Walt, this is one powerful write...it made me feel every word you were saying because I could sense your honesty. Many of us didn't listen as we should have - you are not alone - and, we suffer for our stubborness. Never have I read such a sincere write.
Have not most of us been guilty of thinking our moms really had no clue as to what was going on when we were teens? If we had only known, and listened. Life could have been much easier for us. This is a great reminder, Walt. God bless. JMW
Too many children think and feel this way as we try to lead them down the right path. They don't seem to realize it until it is too late and soon find they are in too deep. Your Mother I am sure was always proud of how she raised you Walt. Thank you for sharing.
Such a wonderful tribute poem, she raised an amazing son, you must believe in that, Walt, you are simply an amazing man.
Peace, love, and light,

I agree you Mother raised you the best she knew how, and so did mine. I only learned this when my sister in law said it to me after Mom died and I was complaining how I was brought up and being nasty and mouthy.
This is beautifully penned - what do Mommas know? More than most of their kids give them credit for ... they were young once, too ... well done. Hope you're okay.

How can you know what youthful tribulations bring?
How many times as a youngster I thought the very same thing, of both my parents. And how so differently I see things today!
