A few ppl asked me to post
this as a separate thread so
here it is....


MOTHERING OUR MOTHERS

I called my mother today.
Quiet she was. Her mother
long gone. Her mother
never present, never sent
for her.

I could hear her sadness,
her passive tone.
I held her close,
just to remind her she was
not alone.

Sometimes we need to
mother our mothers,
for they too, at times,
need a woman's touch,
a woman's Love, just
enough to soften the
pain.

I cannot be a substitute
for the mother she did
not have, but I will not
leave her destitute; I
will give all the Love
I can.

Hey (((P))), Good morning Sweetie.

Thanks for stopping in to read and comment.

We sometimes forget that our own mothers might not have had the ideal childhood since they did such a great job raising us. Roles in families can be reversed, particularly as the parent becomes elderly.

What a wonderful write Angel.

Thanks (((P)))....
