About the Poem
This poem was written when I found out that my mother had died when I was born. I was ten years old and it had been kept a secret from me all those years. My step mother and my father didn't tell me either; I found out by myself.
Mother |
| by Redcrow16 |
| A baby's born without a mother or a clue; One year old a mother comes. For years to come the baby yells for his "mother". As the baby becomes seven, eight, nine, ten and finally - A hint comes like a scent riding the wind. A piece of paper - what another? another mother? "No", not now - "Not true!" Death strikes this mother upon baby's birth. It dawns on the child like a haunting shadow; the child cries an eternal cry for years. Depression lives forever. |
