Mother and Daughter

Written 2024-10-15

Mother I apologize

I never meant to throw knives

I keep on saying I was right

A voice inside tells me to fight


Mother I apologize

For my mouth is bitter

And my words are litter

But without you life loses its glitter


Mother I recognize

Your scent in a flower field

Your eyes in the ocean's deep

Your warmth in a summer's heat
