What A Mother Should Be Poem by carlisa smith

What A Mother Should Be

Rating: 3.9


A mother is the one who loves you
A mother puts no drug above you
A mother will never make you cry
A mother will never make you want to die
A mother will help you fight your fears
A mother will help you stop your tears
A mother will keep you safe and sound
A mother will never let you down
A mother will daily say I love you
A mother won’t say I hate you
A mother won’t wish you were dead
A mother won’t forget what you said
A mother won’t close the door
A mother won’t let you be poor
Now I ask you, do you have a mother?
Cause’ I don’t, so don’t bother.

Let me start off by saying you are not alone. I can relate to your poem 100%. My mother is the person you are talking about in your poem. I guess i dont have a mother. I experience everything at a young age and the things i've seen and heard made me grow up fast, but i learned alot from her too. If i have a child, i promise i'll be a mother. Be the mother i didnt have.So f**k her but thank her.

Poignancy abounds in this poem.... but... there is hope, always believe that one day you will be able to put right those wrongs, whether it is with your own mother or when and if you become a mother, it will come, believe that. I adore your poem as it resonates for me, you wrote well. HG: -) xx
