Mummy?

Why do you push me away mummy,
Do you not love me anymore?
Mummy, where did you go?
Who is this man; I haven’t seen him before,
Where were you last night mummy?
Not in your bed,
Not at home,
I was worried,
Do you not love daddy?
Is that why you go away?
Will you come home soon?
Mummy?

I notice people don't like to comment poetry this deep. I have one that you may be interested called "On a Cold Mothers Day". I love how you capture a child�s innocents and naivety with simplistic questioning that anyone who remembers childhood or had a child can relate to as far as trying to figure out an adult situation. Very good. I�m delighted I ventured over to view this one.

This is such a heartwrenching piece. There are so many children who have to leave innocence behind at such a tender age.

The pain, the child's confusion and the threat of an difficult future - are all circumstances caused by others but the child is the one who suffers most.

Well depicted here.

This is a very painful and touching piece. Too often children have to learn about sorrow at such a tender age.

This is soo heartbreaking. Tug at my heartstrings why don't you? There is so much emotion in this short piece. It's beautifully written. The fear, the sadness, the pain. I want to hug the girl. Good job

Well if this isn't very heartbreaking and yet so often true... I iked how you put it in the view of the young child confused by what is taking place.

Tragic, and well written. I, too, see far too many kids that this could well be their thought on any given occasion.

Awe..... I know so many children in that situation. It breaks my heart. Great job!
