Mother and Child
Neither bother nor regret
will enter a mother’s mind,
once a child’s call is heard.
Mountains will move
and the heavens will open
with the brightest of lights,
until both hearts are free
from the faintest of shadows,
and they are whole, once again.
This poem is my response to Quadrille #126 – Come “bother” up a poem, the prompt from De Jackson at dVerse ~ Poets Pub, which is to use a form of the word bother
in a 44-word poem, with no required meter or rhyme.

Yes, a mother’s love is like that. Even when she’s tired and strung out, it’s always there.
