Maternally Yours

Sorrowful kisses placed on a tearful cheek

flushed with pain and sadness.

 

Comforting arms embrace a quivering body

left shaking with fear and loneliness.

 

Sympathetic words caress throbbing ears

as the cries of heartache echo within.

 

Gentle hands wipe weeping eyes

that no longer behold the beauty of ones self-worth.

 

A hopeful smile given to a once laughing face

which now only frowns with despair and confusion.

 

Understanding silence given to impart empathy and love

as only a mother can do

 

to mend a daughter’s first heartbreak.

[Lorry]

Comfort and sympathy, without word or judgement, is nothing, yet everything when required. When we feel the need to say I told you so, but don't say it, and instead just be there instead. We live and we learn by our own mistakes, and a Mother always knows best, even if it isn't always acknowledged.
