Mother's Day

Musings on surrendered custody

 

Mother's Day

 

They ripped you from my arms

In much the same way that

They ripped you from my womb...

Violently, quickly, passionately

They who lacked compassion

Pointed a gun at me

With you in my arms

And told me to surrender you

But how could I give you up

My daughter, my joy, my heart

Your brother was so young

Too young to understand

How the earth was opening up

And swallowing my soul

Your father just stood there

Smirking

And I found my peace in knowing

That the earth,

The forgiving, forgetting earth

Will swallow him as well

I am so sorry, that is horrible to go through.You have so much feeling in this that you wrote it hurts.Things in the end will get better,and those who do rotten things will pay darley in the end.what bad things someone does to another will come back to them 10 times worse believe that. thank you for sharing may the lord bless you and keep you safe always.

This is sad
Children without there mother how can that be
It's hard to respond to something this sad
The world can be so cruel, I can feel you pain
Well penned Ray { Not a Poet }

This was a very touching poem. I am so sorry you had to go through that. It is something that no mother or anyone else should have to go through... Don't worry it will all works itself out....trust me. Be patient and you shall reap the rewards...Karma is a b***h ( excuse my french), what goes around comes around...i liked this piece.. Good Job! =)

Always here and love,
