Poem: Dear Mum

As I sit here quietly thinking
Completely devoid of inspiration
Trying to express my thoughts on paper,
Deep feelings of love

Although I have always loved you
It's in maturity I realise
The unselfish love you never had for me
The smile for me was not in your eyes.

Why did you never love me as you did the others?
Why was it that I always had to come last?
Would you have loved me if I was different
Or would that resentment have grown from the past?

Thoughts of you, my mother, always upset me,
You had no room on your lap for me
A great longing that good enough I could be
And then I could have a warm loving memory....
