A Mothers Heartache

by June   Mar 10, 2007


My heart is aching ,
and I don't know what to do.
I have three great boys ,
ups and downs we've been through.
I'll do anything for my kids ,
to make their lifes a happy one.
Protect them from all thats bad ,
a task thats not so easily done.
The heartache I am feeling now ,
is racking up past memories for me.
My double is in my middle son ,
himself he doesn't want to be.
His learning is two years below his age ,
he struggles to do many things.
A chubby lad he is with glasses ,
but joy to everyone he brings.
Going to secondary school is scaring him ,
as now he's aware he's not like all the others.
His fears are making him so unhappy ,
he's taking his anger out on his brothers.
His words to me echo what I used to say ,
as a mum I don't know what to do.
I pray he won't sink any lower than I did ,
to gain the strength to get through.
But to hear him say the things he does ,
deep down I think for him it's only just begun.
I'm his mum and I'm failing to protect him ,
unable to make things better for my own son.
