What burden it be to grow up without a Mother's Love.

 

 
 
 
A wispy twilight feature,
Barely could I see,
This tiny sweetest creature,
Beneath the darkness of a tree,
 
On a bench it sat, nearly fast asleep,
Its little face, tilted to one side,
Half moon lids, over eyes so deep,
Grey its fur on top, the little tummy white,
 
A wee timid creature, and smaller still,
Half the size of my thumb,
Barely the corner of my palm did fill,
A sweetest little crumb,
 
Upon a wish where hearts do meet,
A piece of butter did I steal,
Knowing of the others need,
Its hunger would I heal,
 
The butter melted as did my heart,
It took my offer with much haste,
Licked every bit of oily part,
Not a drop of it did waste,
 
Its tiny tongue it rasped across,
A calloused hand that aged of time,
Save Mother Nature one more loss,
Such treasures fill that soul of mine,
 
Though bittersweet a tear it fell,
As happiness is wrapped with pain,
Another day it would live to tell,
But, orphans not a Mom can claim ©08/05/2011

Your love of animals shows through brightly in the tender write of a motherless animal; your thoughts warmed my heart and made me smile. A lovely poem.

Such a loving act of kindness will be repaid many times over and knowing you, your little friend now lives in your kitchen. Patrick

Such heart and giving are rarer and rarer
as we 'progress', Jasmin.
Perfect piece for the day that's in it.

As long as a caring Mr. Mom like you is around, these orphans really aren't orphans, at all.

Hopefully they do not find a mother like mine was...better a life as an orphan or at least motherless than to grow up with my mother...for some, Mothers day means nothing...but good feelings to those who had good ones, they were & are the lucky ones...ed
