A Mother's Love

Is it difficult to see a mother’s love

What balance does her actions have to her words

Could I add weight to an opening hug

Or workout the tension of a stricken nerve

Is it difficult to see a mother’s love

When her heart is a rose but her ways are weeds that choke your soul

Is it difficult to see a mother’s love

When her qualities bury you into a wretched hole

If I couldn’t see my mother’s love

Would I listen for trust and satisfaction

Or would I make excuses for her infamous bliss

And use life’s struggles as a distraction

If I couldn’t see my mother’s love

Would I even have a reaction

Or would I long in a blank stare for a mother’s kiss

And once obtained live in an ever after
