Human Expectations

Contributed by northernlights on Tuesday, 7th August 2012 @ 10:04:49 AM in AEST
Topic: AmericanTragedy

Blood to blood ties and a Mother seeks
Her son.
They say thicker than water.
She will wait for life's last second.
Nature's playing with connections
and we her pawns.
Eyes and smiles the deepest signs of connections
unexpected.
Our total lack of comprehension of the ties that bind,
and yet still in the agony,her burden to carry,till mortality
becomes but a shadow, her shaking hands reach out
in hope.
Blood to blood ties.
We may always seek and yet in Nature's indifference our
hearts may break because in finality we may never have
found.

Very sad and powerful. Sometimes all we can do is give love and hope it is returned. Connections cannot be forced. Hopefully your brother begins to show his love in some way.

Yeah, no doubt in my mind about that.

Gad this poem is sad. There are times I wish to apologize for the human race. Obviously I cannot.

But I'll try anyway. I am so sorry for this happening in her life. Truly so sad.

*huge hug*

Hi Anna,

Touching - sad - with just a tinge of Hope.

Very powerful and bitterly sad.
Yet, your mother is in the light. Her grief and hurt will be v indiaterd sooner or later - perhaps in another realm.

"Lordf - let me not seek to be loved, but to love~
Even so, it is very sad, but you can pray "Awesome Anna" :-)
