Dig a Little Deeper

Andrea,

It is always a pleasure reading through your back catalogue as I know that 1) whatever I pull up will be brimming with quality and 2) a nature poem (which I love) will never be far.
This is wonderful. I hope you are well and all the best,
Ben

This poem indeed made me go back in time. My Mother was far from being perfect but I found a way to forgive her. With my children I did the best I could, I knew how,
and now they are grown having children of their own they realize that even the best mom is not perfect. But they appreciate the things I did. It really hit home.

I don't think there are many perfect moms out there, I know I wasn't, but in time our little ones learn that no one is perfect and the forgiveness begins and so does the healing...

this piece really hits home for me and touches the deepest part of the heart and soul

This poem took my breath away.

I was never a perfect
mother,
consumed within catastrophic
destruction;
seedlings grow
with forgiveness as tears
water a rooted, new beginning.

this piece... rocked my heart. I can't describe to you the feeling I had when writing this, but it had a profound impact on me.

I love that you made this into many different meanings, but I took the special connection with a parent. My heart aches, and with this I don't feel alone. Thank you. I'm so glad I stumbled across this gem.

Just Wow I would like to write a detailed comment, but in my opinion this poem speaks for itself. It would've been nice if there is a praise button on poems pages, there is the rating but praising has a different meaning!! ;)
This piece is so you, amazing :)
