for my mother and her heart


My mother's tears make me feel helpless
now that i'm a mother I know what
it is to shed them alone in the middle of the night

But my mother's tears are not always visible
yet I know inside, she's crying
I know I could bring her comfort
if she would share her sorrow

She's so concerned that I have my own problems
always thinking about others, always listening
to my issues, when I know she needs her quiet time
I talk and talk so maybe she'll be encouraged

to share her pains with me
but she keeps it in, almost like she needs
her tears...like they soothe her heart
I've thought she kept them hidden in order to protect
something... someone...

My mother's tears fall from her heart
and I got close enough to hold her in my arms
and felt it beating slower...slower...
almost like something inside was dying

I kissed her, and she smiled and pulled away
so she could keep on crying

i've read this 3 times already... & each time there
were tears in my eyes & i was filled with so many
different emotions... & there are so many different
things i want to say to you about this piece...

but in an effort to keep it short... i'll just say...
thank You for allowing me to be touched by
your work. i'll read this to my mother today. :)

AlwaysPeace.

simply beautiful

writing a piece such as this only comes from having a loving heart and a deep understanding of the person you know as your mother...

it's always beautiful to see a child look upon a parent as a person, not just a parent..and to let that mother or father know, that you do understand...

a caring, loving tribute...
