Mommy What Happened
Why weren't you there
When I needed you here?
I don't have an image in my mind
of anything of your kind
Is there anywhere, where I can see you
Are you over the sea?
Are you in my sky?
Why did you die?
You were there to welcome me
into the world!
Or did you see
me as a threat?
Daddy works so very hard
While grandma takes care of me
When daddy comes home, he is tired.
He looks at me and cries.
Mommy, I like to see sunshine
Are you in the sun?
Are you having fun?
Where you are at
Do you see me?
Do you care?
Was I a dare?
If I am good, will you come back?
I will go through life looking back
To figure out something to know
About you
Something that will glow
For mommy, my life isn't complete
Because you weren't here for my feat.
Your child
(tears)

September 9, 2011, 4:05 pmSusan Paduano says:Hi Lori, I have friends who have their grand children living with them. Children living in orphanages. Children living in single family homes with just their fathers. Social Services and Dyfuss, the hundreds of thousands without their mothers raising them. Not me specifically, but I know what it feels like to be left out. So I can associate with how they may feel.Log in to reply-

September 10, 2011, 9:10 pmTeresa Thomas says:Hi Susan. Just voted. Wow! Love this poem. It kind of reminds me of about my mother. Though, I"m on my own with a family of my own, I feel, that I still yet, need my mother and she's not here other than in my heart. This gotten me just about choked up as I sit here, thinking of my own mother who is now, in heaven. This Friday, will be 2 years and 5 months since her passing. I still think of her and miss her so much. I also, understand about children without their mothers. My niece and nephew were raised by my sister, Mary and her husband, Jason in 2000 when their biological mother whom is my oldest sister had passed away. At that time, my niece and nephew were still yet, teenagers. Two and a half to three and a half years after the death of my sister, my brother-in-law, Jason had adopted my niece and nephew. Now a days, they carry his last name and now, my nephew is married with a family of his own. As I sit here thinking of this blog of yours, I find myself, about to go into tears crying. This is a very touching poem. Excellent job... God bless you.Log in to reply-

We just buried my father yesterday and my mother passed three years ago Oct. 10th. I'll give anything to have them back for 30 secs. For 49 years, I had both of them. So I've been blessed.Log in to reply
