Mothers & daughters
So many daughters cry
so many mothers cry
for what?
Mean words spoken
cannot be taken back
When all they want
is a tender word
a thoughtful glance
Why can’t mothers let go
why can’t daughters let go
forgive past sins
Why can’t they just hold hands
with gentle respect for one another
Let me set my own tempo
you set your own too
and dance
Daughters want their own way
mothers want their own way
sinking fast
All I want for you is simple
let us talk like friends
Be at peace to find
the loving center
within

Yes, because everyone has their individual self, everyone their own road, etc. To bask in each other's sunlight, the best we can each be. Bright Mother, Bright Daughter:-)
Very timely Luna. I don't always understand my daughter. She is so complex but then, I am her mother so it is not surprising really.
Thanks for your comments. This poem was inspired by a conversation with a friend. Relationships can be so unique and complicated depending on many factors. This is my way with trying to deal with all those emotions.
