A Daughter's Prayer
Folder:
Religion Lord, why does my mother throw
me so many curves
one minute she is nice the next
I am getting on her nerves
she makes me feel like I do
everything wrong
and it really makes it hard
for us to get along
she tells me I have no sense
of responsibility
and that every chance I get
I spend all my money
she has even said I don't respect
my elders
and makes me feel like I don't do
enough to help her
I've practically raised my siblings
on my own
and she says maturity I have not shown
God, I can't count how often
I cry at night
just because she says I don't do right
The thing that really hurt was when
she told me if I can't make up my mind
I would be nuth'n
I know my mom is trying her best
& no matter what she says I will be
a success
God you know how much I love her
I just pray you help me to
understand my mother
damn i knew how that felt
I love the idiom, it reads like an ordinary conversation, like a prayer but there is a lot more to it. It's real. I imagine you write/or could write great dialogue. This is so full of love and warmth and shows how frustrating parents can be!

Excellent
I wish I could have read this poem 10 years ago! This is exactly the thoughts that went through my head at times. Lucky for me, I do have the phenomenal mother that I always did who set me straight & now I am who I am because of her. This piece is just beautiful. MUCH LOVE, always...Martina
I thought to stop at three but this one
caught me. You'd receive the same love
from your two cute sons. I believe in
the saying "what you sow is what you'll
reap"
DAMN BABY...you've been on that deep shit. I love this!!!
