I woke up again, wiping sweat off my face.
That nightmare again, I was back in that place.
No things weren't great, but they weren't all that bad.
Mom I still love you, you're all that I had.
And I could tell, that your love was real.
I hated to see you, go through that ordeal.
No I'm not mad, like some people would think.
I just miss you mom, this separation just stinks.
I miss you holding me, and saying I love you.
I miss your touch, telling you I love you too.
I've gotten older, I'm no longer a kid.
And everyone has regrets, of bad things that they did.
I'll soon be a man, at least by my age.
So soon I'll be released, let out of my cage.
I'd like to find you, just to say hello.
To ask you a question, why that fellow?
But for now I just wonder, how you have been.
I miss your laugh, and I miss your grin.
Each day of my life, removes another day.
Untill we meet, but what can I say?

i found this poem on this site a while ago and had to come back to it. Its an awsome poem and this is the way i feel about my real mom who got put in jail. i havent seen her or my dad for about 8 years and i have to wait until i am 18 to see them again. This poem deeply moved me.

Excellent poem on two issues.
This is a great poem for mother's day but for the content that you wanted it to be for. I miss my mother too but her battle was with an enemy that is unrelenting. You did a fine job on this one.

For reading this and finding it worthy of your kind words. Ron

I feel a lot of pain in this poem? Is that what you wanted the reader to feel? The only thing I give you props for doing English grammar properly. I like the third stanza from the last the best. The way you went with the flow of that one is just beautiful!
-
-
Yes alot of pain was there, but not mine
This one was written for a friend who went through a situation and was wanting to see a possible side to her son. Well thank you so much for your kind words. And finding this read. I am glad it has touched so many.

wow. i just recently moved out of my mom's because of some very difficult situations she needs to deal with, and i'm still trying to get used to not being with her and being in a new place, living with new people; so this poem means a lot and really hits home. I really like it.

Beautiful,Heartwrenching Write

Emotional Flow....
This is beautiful...I love it. Having been incarcerated...I know that in itself can be painful enough...and excessively painful for the "mama" to have their child caged. This was so well written...flowing beautifully. -
