Mom & Daughter touching poetry...

Mother and daughter relationships are complex because the daughter looks to her mother as a role model of what a woman is. As she grows up and sees other women who live their lives differently, she chooses between imitating her mother or other significant influences in her life. As an adolescent she may come to look down on her mother and think that other women are much better. Of course she is not a fully grown woman so she does not understand the challenges and choices that her mother faces. It is only when she herself becomes a woman that she can fully appreciate her mother..

The love we have for our children will never be fully understood by them, until they have their own families. At times we have to be "strict" for their well-beings but we are misunderstood as lady Hitler. It's so incredibly sad that sometimes even after having their own families, moms cant get back their Loving daughters. Loving so much really can hurt!!!

                                              "Love At Last"

I remember the good times,

that we once had...

but still my life,

is oh...so sad...!!

I try to look forward,

but my mind goes back...

because a piece of the glass,

on our portrait is cracked

I try so hard to protect the glass,

I won't let it shatter...

Because you and your love,

are all that matters

My family is all,

that means anything to me...

still...everything always

gets blamed on me

This happens to Moms,

all over the world...

we're supposed to be perfect,

we learn this as girls

I have never been great

or the "best of Moms"...

And, at times I've failed

by the things I've done wrong

For those things I am sorry,

I didn't want you to cry...

but please remember,

my eyes are not dry

I hope you can find,

our love that seems lost...

for the mistakes I have made,

came at a very high cost

A piece of my life,

is missing and gone...

And everything feels,

Oh...so wrong..!!

But, there is one thing,

that I can do...

I will try to be strong,

just for you..

One thing I feel, 

down deep in my heart...

It's my love for you,

I guess that's a start

You have a new "Baby"

now growing inside...

And, I hope that you feel

each of his kicks with pride

You will feel love,

like never before...

it is your family,

you will completely adore

Its a new beginning,

you will forget the past...

With the time, u will realize,

 those were Not the

“Mistakes” of your mom

as you are now in the

"shoes of your mom"

its again a new beginning,

u will realize the past,

It completes you as a woman,

It will be "Love at Last"
