Put Aside Your Differences Poem by Riitta Gyllenbogel

Put Aside Your Differences



Put aside
your differences
for a moment
if even only just
for a little while
do not see the mother
who reprimanded you
see not the mother
who disagreed with
your every choice
put away that voice
whispering in your ear
and see her through the love
living within your heart
your mother is a woman
living her life
and loving her child
as best she can
forgive
her failings
as you must
forgive your own
and give the woman a kiss
for you know
deep within your heart
the day will come
when you'll sorely miss
being lectured at
by your mom
