Poem Commentary

In A Mother's Cry

My child I want you to know that your not alone for I cried for you, before you was born.

For a Mother, I didn't know how to be, cause at the time I was just learning how to be me.

My body was changing like a flower blossoming in it's ripe season, I was at my time to bloom, not listening to advice that was given to me, Now I have a baby.

As I hold you close to my chest nursing you from my breast, my mind never at one moments rest.

Now that your here, I do have fear, my days not free. For a Mother, I didn't know how to be.

So we grow together, in and out of life's stormy weather, making mis-takes along the way, before we learn to pray.

See I know I'll never get it right, that's why now I must fight for my child who have gone wild.

It may seem like I left you to the streets, but it's not so you see, I had to go back and find me.  For a mother I didn't know how to be.

Now that your grown and it seems like we can't get along, cause everything I do or say is wrong, I want to assure you that it's not so. cause as we live we must grow.

And for you my child I never meant to let you down, that was never to be.

For A Mother I Didn't Know How To Be.

Really, really good, Ladypooh. You have captured the 'subtraction' that so often accompanies the 'addition' of a child while one is young. I like the way that you portray the 'growth' of the mother and child together. This is true for all parents. No one knows how to be a parent - until they are a parent. Great Poem. Thanks for sharing.

This poem made me cry. It came alive for me with my own experiences. I would like for you to read my poems too, especially 'newness'.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
