There was a girl
Who was only twelve years old
But she knows how to cook
Because her mother is disabled
Mother looks at her
Cries in silence
Everyday her mother wished she could die soon
Then her daughter could have life a better life
Mommy is this comfortable?
The girl asked
Little hand on her mother's back
Doctor told her mommy has to be washed every single day
That's what she does
Every morning wakes up at five
Fixing breakfast for her mother
Changes her mother's diaper before she leaves for school
Be careful out there is what her mother said every day
She saw her daughter leave for school
She cries that's all she can do
She knows her daughter saved her lunch
For her to eat and pretended she's so full
Can't eat anymore, so she saved her lunch for mother
A disable mother
She knew her daughter was always bullied by her classmate everyday
Because she have a mother like her a disable mother
But still she can't do anything
For she is a disable mother
Mommy look what I brought you for lunch today
The girl said with a smile
Two rolls and a salad.
I want to bring you a hamburger but someone wanted it, so i give it to them
Her mother know that someone must have been her classmate
The one who bullied her everyday
Look I even brought you a milk to drink
The girl smiled
Tomorrow the cafeteria has pizza and side salad
I'm going to eat the side salad and save the pizza for you
That's how they live every single day
Till the day her mother died
This girl is grown up and now twenty two

we can do that too. If you start a group like that you can always count me in. I am in for your group
-
I like this a lot.
Well this is a darned good poem and maybe we should just have a group for the writers with a disability. -
i'm sorry to offend you. I will change it, i'm sorry it just because i want to show how far a daugther's love can go and how much she love her mother. Useless is from a point of view of a mother not the daughter. I sorry to offend you. I will change it right now
-
This is a wonderful poem about a wonderful daughter, I hate to see the mom called useless though.. unless the disability was a choice. I love the emotions, but maybe a little work on the flow? IMHO
-
This is sad. But to tell you the truth, the reason I clicked on it is because one of my friends puked in the lunch room today and the title reminded me of it. (sorry!) But this is sweet, it's touching. My mom is skitzo manic depressive bi-polar and it's not easy to deal with, but she can still get around on her own. It's sad because she really has nothing else to do but look after me sometimes. I'll ask her to get something for me and she'll act like it's a pain but you know it's what she lives for. :/
If this is your mother, you are strong for sharing, thankyou. -
Well, the poem was brilliant, to say the least. Very sad and emotional. The last line was a bit of a blunt ending to a marvelous piece, but overall it was well worth the read. Is this based off a true experience?
-
how can i even comment on this. i can't. i am sorry that i can't. your mother wasn't useless. she was disabled and you very obviously loved her. that is all i can say. viyanna r langager

great.
Wow that was an amazing poem. It was very touching. But theres one thing your wrong in::: the mother wasn't useful. She was disabled- yes! But usless-no! She loved the girl very much and that has to count for something. If she was usless, the girl wouldn't take care of her so well. She would either forget about her, or put her in a group home, or let her die. The girl loved her mother too.

Wow. This poem is truly touching, and so very well written. This is one of the best I've ever read on this site. This poem shows the love of a child should have for their parent, no matter what. Excellent write!

This mother was not useless at all, she was disable , but she was the best she could be. The daughter was so strong willed and very, very loving. What a child, I don't even know her, yet I am proud of her for being such a beautiful young lady, with such a loving soul. Your mother is now watching over you and smiling down at you everyday. May God be with you always. I loved your poem, it was very nicely written.

Not because the have something comes up and O~ there my friend Nini, I can call her. Wish you the best again. -
Wow dreamer...I think this is your strongest write yet. So heartwrenching. A childs love for her mother is as unconditional as a mothers love for her child. Excellent job on this. I loved it.
