A Poem by Mauricio Montoya

I forgot to give you a card
One you never gave me
Sorry I could not remember
Shame on me.
When you thought of me.
To say,
Happy birthday.

Very sad and discomforting episodes in life. Courage and love is the key. Very sad. Though late I read this all blessings for successful life from my part.

Yeah thanks
I felt the sadness here Mauricio. Not everyone has an easy relationship with parents. You might have forgotten the card but you wrote the poem. You were thinking of her. More than she afforded you dear poet.

You are welcome. Have a good day yourself.
Being the bigger person isn’t always easy but inside it typically makes us feel better that we at least tried even if forgotten and it is a belated birthday wish

No we haven't spoke in years but one day it dawn on me it was her birthday so I wrote this poem
Yeah it does have two meanings, mom and me haven't talk in years but on her birthday I was drunk and forgot about send a card via my sister so I wrote this poem. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

A very poignant piece….says a lot, but we all make mistakes, unless this was not…. Might be intentional…many ways to view this….
Nice write Mauricio!
