selfish child .. my Mom and me
I talk to you a lot now
and you are gone
it took awhile
to forgive you your trespasses
as you forgave mine,
just like the prayer
I understand it now!
I carried perceived notions
of what you should be
not accepting you for yourself
your talents and your gifts
ignored by my selfishness
how that must of hurt!
you knew all along I would regret
my childish behavior
you understood
I would one day
feel the pain
I must has caused you.
Mothers day is rolling around
I want you to know
your acceptance of my ignorance
and your heartfelt words of love
to this selfish child
helped me to forgive
myself
and see how beautiful
a mothers love is
but of course you knew that
all along.
I love you mom
