[hometext] => How many mothers will know this kind of day? Please don't let it be your own!
[bodytext] => ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forgotten Mother She’s looking out the window Thru eyes of memory Remembering long ago mornings � When the children needed me� Oh how she remembers The chaos of every morn The hustling and bustling The frustrations and scorn Children arguing every morning As they’re drug from their bed Oh yes she relives All those memories in her head A quickly waved goodbye As the bus passes from sight A golden tear trickling from an eye A prophetic insight Where are her children? Why have they been so long away? Have they really forgotten her On this their Mothers Day? She never causes trouble Never tries to invade their space But tonight she cannot control The tears pouring down her face “Alone once more� she sighs All hopes and dreams now dead Tonight-another forgotten mother Cries lonely upon her bed Russ [comments] => 3 [counter] => 204 [topic] => 26 [informant] => Lone_er [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MothersDayPoems )
