Sometimes it's tough to grasp the responsibility people unwillingly place on us. What a wonderfully written poem. Best of luck with your writing!
Have a great day, and God bless.

Powerful and moving. As strong as the bond is between myself and my daughters, I understand that it is different being a mother. I hope you and your family are well now.
Regards,

    You know actually I thought this poem would have very little relevance. How often are a women's kids sneaked off to another country whilst their mother was in treatment for life threatening anorexia? But actually dad's can get a raw deal when it comes to custody, empty next syndrome is quite painful, there are sadly lots of occasions when a parent misses their kids life. Thank you so much for re viewing and your kid words. You learn to live with the pain .

I thought this was so creative. Congrats on yoru first post! I love the imagery in your poem. From building "great dens" and the comparison to achievements like the Sistine Chapel. My favorite was the final lines. For me there is a sense of searching for purpose and understanding in the face of everything changing.

    Thank you first of all for your diplomatic correction of my spelling error. But also the last two lines I was worried most about that they could be misconstrued as aggressive but you understood what I meant almost better than I did! Thank you so much, you've given me great confidence that even a topic that not many can relate to is nonetheless worthwhile

This poem tells more than what it reads. Whatever happens, you will always be a mother to your little people who are now no more little.

This poem is very good as your first post. It flows well. Thanks for sharing.
