Happy Mother’s day in advance to all the wonderful mommies out there !!
The last picture in the photo album
Takes me back to my early formative years
Memories come flooding back
My wandering mind has a flashback
I remember saying all the things
I shouldn’t have
Spiteful words
Filled with rancour
Spat out curtly
My mother, a victim of my rage
Her distress caused no sorrow
I was engulfed by the dark side of teenage
The more she tried
The more I rebelled
There was turmoil in her mind
While mine wreaked havoc and was undeniably unkind
Freedom was not enough
Nothing could straighten me out
I abhorred the dull routine of existence
Breaking curfew, constant tantrums and brazen acts
Only widened the distance
I shudder at the thought
Of how reckless I was
Even the sincerest apologies
Won’t lessen the pain I’d caused
But a mother’s heart can never hold grudges
She’s still the same old loving and forgiving woman
I haven’t grown any wiser
Although she’s made me a better human
