A SADDENED MOTHER
©️ --- In the silence of the night, tears gently fall, A mother’s heart aching, longing through it all. Ignored, abused by the one who vowed to care, Lost moments with her children, memories rare. No holidays to light up their eyes with delight, Just shadows of sadness, in the dim moonlight. Her love, a beacon, in a storm so fierce, But time slips away, each wound like a pierce. In dreams, she sees the laughter that could be, A family whole, joyous and free. But the present binds her in chains of sorrow, Hoping for a brighter, kinder tomorrow. Cherished moments, like whispers on the wind, Feel so far, where does she begin? Yet in her heart, strength fiercely resides, For a mother’s love, no cruelty can divide. She holds onto hope, in the darkest of nights, For her children’s smiles, and future bright. With every heartbeat, she fights to reclaim, The love, the joy, free from shame.
