So, on another level, this poem also constitutes the dialogue I sometimes have with my own self.<br /><br />Loved this.Preeti S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08367363156339655332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177964686272709979.post-64809260218802702702014-10-16T12:43:36.090-07:002014-10-16T12:43:36.090-07:00Man, there is a lot of depth to this despite eight...Man, there is a lot of depth to this despite eight short lines.

I don't think you could find two more different woman - especially since, I gather we shared DNA. But one does work through these things (or dies trying). At the end of her life, we were even able to make the occasional joke about it. But it is hard, joined for life to someone who doesn't get you at all. It does come down to one thing. I was "daughter". She was "mother" and there was love there - though, not the kind of love that I share with my children . . . not even close.Wendy Bourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475940407969993348noreply@blogger.com
