Won't Let Me In

I wrote this poem to my daughter, 6 years ago, but never gave it to her.

 

From the heart,

I really wanted

to know you

and, selfishly,

I wanted you

to know me, too.

You don't have a clue, honey,

of who

I really am

and

you

won't let me in.

Not ever knowing what could be, the hardest part. A short poem with a direct message. I enjoyed!

Thanks for sharing.

two little sentences strung so smoothly together capturing the souls of mothers and daughters throughout time. well done.

This is a nice little poem. Most mothers and daughters can relate to this I'm sure. I like the way you've created the flow in this poem. It runs smoothly and it has a deep meaning behind it. Wonderful job!
