Forgiven Poem by Elizabeth Russell
Forgiven
Eyes bright with tears
Peering down dark depths into my soul
A heart broken by careless comments
Sobs against my breast
Unbearable pity enfolds me
Surrounds my heart
Squeezing, constricting
Words, soothing but glib
Flow easily from my tongue
A mothers platitudes
Masking the overwhelming truth
Sniffling
Tears drying like midmorning dew drops
On satin skin
Such a beautiful face
An innocent smile
Already forgiving
My beautiful
Innocent
Forgiving
Son
Elizabeth, You are such an inspiration to me. You describe the love of a mother so well. We will do anything to protect our babies won't we? And when they feel pain I think we feel it a thousand times more. Thanks for sharing this with us. Gypsy

I know Gypsy is right, that as mothers we feel their pain a thousand times more, because just when we're ready never to forgive, the children are out playing together again. Forgivness is right, because we should learn from our children.
