Mom by Linda V

Who is this woman

Who gave me life

Who watched me grow

In the distant memory of my youth

Who is this woman

Who taught me strength

Who taught me courage

In the early stages of my understanding

Who is this woman

Who let me go

Who knew my heart

In a time before I knew myself

Who is this woman

Who now cowers and hides

Who is fearful

In the twilight of her years

Who is this creature

Afraid and distant

She is not the woman

I once knew
