Oddly Connected
An acrostic poem of connection to my mom
Many days throughout the year,
I think of you and what we have
Shared, not only as family, but as
Souls--women who have struggled hard.
Yearning for unconditional love and acceptance,
Ours were not the easiest of roads to traverse.
Until we become older, we do not realize just how
Much we share with others that is so
Ordinarily alike. Yet, the human aspect connecting a
Mother and a child is also remarkably complex.
