nor lack of sorrow.
B..."It is not lack of love<br />nor lack of sorrow.<br />But the iron thing they carried, I will not carry."<br /><br />Reading a mite late, but doing so I'm sitting at the keyboard crying. Strange, beautiful, profound, silly poem, and your mother who sounds like mine. A complicated relationship that many would never see because what they did see was the charming sweetness and warmth that she was. Sometimes. I loved her and I miss her a great deal, but...mourn the connection we just could not make. Too much strangeness. Wish we could chat and pray about it in person. (((Hug))) and sympathy and thoughts as you remember your mother.Dorcas (aka SingingOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15626748280614018533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-30332701364816500152010-09-23T08:57:07.652-04:002010-09-23T08:57:07.652-04:00The poem is breathtaking.
