How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is
To have a thankless child!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
True mother love
Shakespeare said this and he was right
For thankless or not I feel in this plight.
To have and hold a baby new
Is the most wonderful thing you can do.
To watch them grow and become the apple of your eye
You teach them to love and care, you kiss away tears when they cry.
Sharing all their triumphs large and small
To pick them up and brush them off when they fall.
Sacrificing your hearts desire for all their dreams
You’d die for them, give your all, sometimes, for naught it seems
They grow and fly make their own nests
Sometimes they include you and you feel truly blessed
To have a child who’ partner shuts you out
Is the most painful thing without a doubt
To see a grandchild so rarely that he hardly knows you
Is pain beyond pain, try as you may there is nothing you can do.
I feel so sad I have committed no sin
Why am I on the outside looking in?
