PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

by Jeph Johnson

She was
once younger,
and not so smart,
before your arrival...
She felt your heart
beating while fighting
for her own survival.
She made big
mistakes with fate
and poor unfair decisions.
It's almost more
than she can take
when she dreams
what might have been.
But hope says love
prevails through the pain
that begs your forgiveness
again and again
and though Mommy's
not always there
in the traditional sense
her love is:
Unconditional
and intense...
