Premium Member Have you ever thought about the raising of Cain
Have you ever thought about the raising of Cain? Where did that boy get a rage so completely insane that he ended up murdering his younger brother? Did he learn this rage from his father and mother, who must've been in deep, psychological pain for having caused Eden to go down the drain. ...

Premium Member Mother
What is a mother? Is it birth? In a way, for that is the Earth, the need to seed, to procreate that is, our natures obligate. Is that a mother’s duties done; that’s all. I’m through. I have a son. It was and is, and was again, ignorant to the silent pain; never knew quite how to mother; left it to a father’s other; appearing...

Premium Member A Mother's Shelter
A mother's arms will make a boy feel warm. Without her, the world would be strange and cold. She keeps her darling safe from fear and harm and offers him a loving hand to hold. She watches over him where he may go and always holds him tightly to her breast. She shields him when the winds...

Mama, my best word
My sweetness, from you, my first meal, Exclusively for six. And for many more months after~ The grub that made me tick. You'd go hungry for me to eat. Still my tum begs for more What yours for days has been denied, For hunger there to roar. Empty tummy twirls blank your eyes, Then you fall down and faint. Still you rise just to find...

The End is How it Ends The end is how it ends and if it doesn’t we haven’t gotten there yet As I sit here and the window open and the church bells toll It’s a reminder that your spirit is lingering and with me I have watched your torment as we lowered the casket of your first...

My Three Blessings
As I look out the window at my three boys, I hear all the racket, I hear all the noise. They’re playing with tractors in the dirt. They’re playing barefoot, no pants, no shirt. It’s fun to watch them and their imaginations, the smile on their face, the exhilaration. They don’t need expensive toys to do the trick,...

Premium Member Things My Child Said
It is quite common to kiss 'ouchys' on those wee. At three, my son asked to have bath autonomy. I tossed a washcloth, then stood where he could not see. Soon, he called out with words that completely shook me, "Mom, it washed red and sore, please come kiss my pee-pee." Shopping, strolling him down the grocery store aisle where female...

An Adolescent's Pain
Adored sister, dry the warm tears flowing from these gleaming eyes: let them dazzle more than jewels: they are dedicated to all sweet mothers who live for their sons, unlikely fathers whose role is to teach them harsh lessons! Dad was a shameless womanizer, he demanded faithfulness from mother and discipline from us; he rarely smiled and hugged us in needy times: we looked...

“I Am Woman” From her loins A seed grows, Tenderly cared, Straight and tall, The future, hers to give. Oh, Great Bearer of Life, Queen of Destiny, What is it you demand of thee? Please, articulate your gift to me. My honor, indeed. I deplore you do not know. How blind you are. I grew the...

The Miss
The Miss I’ll miss you, A Truth, I’ve always missed you. An opening act, blurred by time and a feeble mind Hugs, homework, and the happiest place on earth I miss your true smile Then, the split, a beginning, An arduous odyssey filled with glimpses and occasions Apartments, husbands, and cars. I miss...

Give Me The Ministerial Seat
Give me the ministerial seat I labored months to breed kings, Fingers cramped to feed queens, With a long list of wishes to fulfill. Give me the ministerial seat I wept in secret, And smiled with no morsel in my belly. I became all— even god. Give me the ministerial...

Premium Member Cenotaph Memories
Cenotaph Memories And silence fell around the stone buildings, As thousands gathered to remember And some to forget, friends and family lost, No longer there to support, Every heartbeat, a tear through time, Every tear drop, a rip across the universe, And thousands gathered at the Cenotaph, Just to remember, give thanks, and live; Johnny left in thirty-nine, France is where he died, Fred departed...
