A Mothers Silent Cry

As I stood there in silence remembering the things that use to be. I tried to erase the memories hoping this would set me free. the pain it caused the sleepless nights I embraced and the endless tears on my face as I felt so much disgrace. Time went by Day by Day Night by Night as I begin to lose sight, the strain on my mind with all the waisted time. I LISTENED FOR MY SCREAMS FROM ALL THE BAD DREAMS. But I was not releived. The emptiness as I wanted to die, and all I received was a mothers silent cry.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

A Mothers silent cry is heartfelt. A mother must know her strengths to pull through or become victimized to her pain, suffering, actions and reactions, and emotional distress. She's stronger than she thinks. Great poem Cathy.
