I wrote this poem. Tell me what you think?
Had I been there when u were young and needed me most, I would have fortified the fruits of your development. I would have held u in my arms while u head coaxed upon my bosom peering up at me, and looked into your soft brown eyes. So eager to challenge the world and experience new things. But too young to understand it all. And be responsible for all that u see, learn, and discover 'cause u belong to me. I would have nourished u with nectar Growing to love u more each day. I would have loved to have u fall asleep in my lap as I braided your hair. I would not have missed your recital and would applaud the loudest. But I wasn't there, I wasn't ready to be the person u needed me to be. I wanted to be free and u were a burden. Now 21 yrs. have past and I realize how important a mother is to her daughter. She's her role-model,provider, supporter. I witness a familiar pattern in your relationship with your daughter. My granddaughter. And burdened by my own sin, I suffer a mother's regret.
