The past is never what it appears to
be
Weighing pros and cons from my
reverie.
The things gone by are a lesson for
life,
Moving on with a future, uncertain of
luck or strife.
As I reflect upon the things, I did in
my past
These reflections are deep
Sometimes showing up for contrast.
Though I try to keep them from coming
forward
It’s a struggle to not think of how
things can have power
This journey I walk is always alone
For this very reason, ensured I have a
home.
Reflecting on things I have not
managed yet to do
Is a reminder that regrets sometimes -
do follow you.
I’ve always wanted to be the best
mother I could be
Not sure if you asked my kids, if they
would agree.
There is never a day when I’ve
forgotten my role
As a mother is forever, all over the
world.
They are older, and no longer holding
onto my skirts
Now, forever I reflect of God’s
blessings with their birth!

ReplyDeleteThank you Eugenia..🌺😊 glad you like it😊
DeleteOne must be a parent first, then once children are older and realize that you did the best you could (and they do), they you can be their friend. That is the evolution of such relationships :D

Thank you Jules, indeed the circle of life does bring it all full circle when the shoe is on the other foot.. but as parents we do try to shield our babies.. but they must grow.
