Seeds of Love

Mother-

I have made promises-

Promises I can’t keep-

To love all-

All you place in front of me-

 

These people-

Those of mean, greed, and uncaring-

I have made promises-

To love all-

All you place in front of me-

 

How do I keep such things-

Keep such promises-

I can’t keep giving love-

Love to those who refuse to receive-

 

Mother-

I have made promises-

Promises to your branches and leafs-

To the lands you place in front of me-

 

Mother-

Promises I just can’t keep-

How do I go on loving-

Loving those of mean and greed

 

Mother-

I have made promises-

Promises on the air -

Promises on the lands around me-

 

Mother-

Your promises bloom-

From single seeds of love-

Granting me all I need-

 

Mother-

How can I keep all promises made by me-

They are just seeds-

Seeds left by the wilting flower that is me-

 

Mother-

These promises-

How do I keep loving-

Loving what does not love me-

All those of mean, greed, and uncaring

 

Mother-

These promises made by you to me-

Providing all I need-

Through the wind, water, and trees-

 

Mother-

My promises are just seeds-

They lack the love-

Love from the wind, water, and me-

 

Mother-

I think I see-

I can love those who will never love me-

With your own promises around me-

I shall continue planting my seeds-

 

Perhaps one day-

Mother-

They will love as we-

Until then

Live and let be-

I will keep my promises "

Mother-

I shall plant my seeds.

Holy cow. This is amazing. I didn't know you could write like this! Known you for this many years and never knew that. -_-

I've been writing for years. Started In middle school. I also write short stories and novellas. I just don't do it much anymore. My painting is more important. I had some hard copies of my old work but I lost it in the fire. Maybe I can find some of my old stuff and post it here to.

You totally should.
