She doesn't know but I wept too

by Karla   Jan 4, 2012


She hugged me
in hospital when I was waiting
for my diagnose and wept.
Her tears rolled down
her face and drenched my heart
with jasmines, guitars,
Mathematics tests, ex-boyfriends
and only one absolute certainty:
she needs me.

I whispered:
"I will take care of myself,
everything will be alright,
I promise you."
Our eyes were red
and I can't remember anything
but love emerging in me
like a huge wave carrying me away
to a kind of cosmic sea of love.

I don't have a use-by date:
time is nothing, it is a drop of her tear.
She is my eternity.

She couldn't see
but I wept when she held me
and said "I love you".
She doesn't know
but I need her too.

    This poem is so heart touching and intense. The bond between you both is very strong, like a magnetic force. Mothers love for their kids is a natural bond by God thus unquestionable.

    A lovely piece of friendship and togetherness between mother and child. Quiet relatable to all mothers and daughters, even same applies to sons.

    Very emotionally sad but beautiful portray of unconditional love, understanding and care. I love this so much. She must be your all, I'm sure.

    God bless you, take care, blessings to you and your family. Cheers! :)..

    I'm probably too emotionally involved with this
    to leave a proper comment..

    the mother daughter thing has always been hard to read,to speak about for me
    without getting teary..

    this made me wish I was your daughter,
    this poem is too beautiful and too sincere for words..

    I love it when mothers speak about the love they have for their child..

    though,I can't truly say I've felt that type of love..

    It still interest me,
    this has my heart most certainly.
    It truly moved me.

    you are an amazing mother,
    hope all is well lovely one.

    My heart melted over this poem

    A beautiful dedication to your daughter.

    It's like whatever life throws at us, the one thing that can never change unless it gets stronger is the love and need for our family

    I have to say the first part saddened me as you were talking about diagnosis as if you were waiting for some test results. Also the talk about what I felt which were things you would miss out on seeing with your daughter

    I hope that everything is and was ok.

    The last stanza blew me away
