Mothers Son ( HM )

Misty eyes bare to blink,

filmed over single a tear fell

crystallised emotions exposed

after all the inner cries dissolved.

 

Many lose their ways in life,

peer to the pressures of common living

they seek others to guide

fellow friends their ears did listen

and in hand offering of get away thoughts

run free came drink and drugs.

 

Lost hearts drown sorrows of weakness

cruelty ebbs deeper

depressive songs sung their stories

raw bones grind the hollow marrow

dug to the heals that weep.

 

A Mother's arm once cradled

she did nurture with pride

a growing son kissed knees that grazed

watching...

he turns a man

before she blinks.

 

 

Year on in to year on out

her love holds dear his precious hopes

and dreams.

 

Now he is lost his direction to living clean

horizons in empathy

creates yet another sadness...

yet she

a Mother waits

with no back turned she offers a hug

guidance of voice shall once be listened

hoping...

A Mothers thoughts of her son growing from boy to man

    Awesome write

    So true are your words and in todays world so many are out there to suck the children into the web for missery loves company .Only when a mother teaaches her child love and right from wrong and this child turn away from it it so breaks the mothers heart like chinna dropped on a porcelain floor and for ever time she reaches for her child and he refuases she dies a litle more .

    Wow sis, this was so very
    touching, raw and deep.
    Your poetic voices speaks
    many volumes of a mother's
    unconditional love for their
    child, whom is growing up
    and falling into the pressures
    of the world.

    Beautifully scribed.

    I love this.

    Best wishes in the contest

    Heart wrenching write from a mother's heart...Yes, we did try to be there all the time for them, and we tried to teach them what mothers should..
    We always hope the best for them, and pray the best for them...We have our dreams for them..
    I only say that as your son seems to have been victimized in this situation, I pray for favor...Just being in the wrong place at the wrong time has it's regrets..May he not give up on life...This I pray..May he know your love is unconditional, and we who love you pray with you for him....So powerfully penned!

    This is so very poignant yet beautifully written dear
    I can relate in a different manner..I

    t's been a few years ago now.. my daughter and her cousin wanted to live on their own...ya know, freedom from us old folks..before moving out with her cousin, my daughter had been living with my former wife who was addicted to drugs and had felong charges...so my daughter was surrounded by a bad atmosphere..I told her that she is always welcomed to live with me..however she always chose her mom, it's a choice that only she could make and I resoected that choice

    ..anyhow...

    after moving out with her cousin, life became real hard financially and she was expossed to more drugs (pot was always a close friend)..in need of money, her cousin talked her into comiting a robbery with a "Toy BB Pistol" which they bought from WalMart..aparently, with some black spray paint the gun looked real... they stole over $2000...when i heard of the news the girls had been on the run..I was just thankful that the Restaurant Manager was not packing a real gun otherwise someone would have been hurt badly or killed..others told my daughter to keep running and hiding..a day or so passed when my daughter [phoned me very late at night] andshe told me what she had done..Julie, I almost had a heart attack...my daughter made the choice to turn herself in..I was one that she finally turned too for help..I made some arrangements to help get her out of prison asap and she lived with me for quite awhile before venturing back out in her own

    as you know, she recently got married..the young man she chose to marry is an ex-drug user and has been through a program for anger management..thus far he has treated her well. and to me he showed complete respect..I can only hope things will go well for her and I'll always be here for her if she should happen to fall, need help, or just want to talk and hang out with an old fart [me, her dad],,
    she is still my little girl ::just grown-up now::

    I have no idea if this helped you {i hope it did sweetie]
    I just wanted wanted to share my story with you

    This is a sad story, Julie. You told me that it was a true one, and i really hope that it's someone you know instead of yours. Very well penned, dear. Thank you so very much for the share. Best wishes and good luck in the contest.

    Wow you write so beautifully. Oh yes this is beautiful and your right we can do all we can to help our children but they grow and they make choices in which we are truly powerless over but we can still love them anyway. What a great poem for the contest. You did a beautiful job. Thank you for sharing with me.

    Wishing You Many Blessings,
    Much Love Always,
