I am your mother, why have you forsaken me?

in life •  7 years ago 

With a broken heart I am writing to you son.

I carried you for nine months, where did our love go to.
You suckled from the breasts of my youths for over thirteen months, with love I fed you.
While suckling you bit the nipples of my breast but I never complained.

You kept me away from the cuddles of my husband in the night.
In Your long nights of stomach pain, I chose you over the husband of my youths.

Nothing else mattered anymore because of you. Even when you became a teenage, you were still my baby.

Remember that night you stepped on a nail?
Remember how painful it was?
Remember how I joined you to cry?
Remember how you promised me that you will be more careful?

When you grew up to the man that you are now, I was so happy.
I said to myself, "my days of stress are over". I said also that "my nights of watching over your head was over". My son is now grown! He knows the right thing to do.

But that's not the case son.

You now ignore me!
I call you ten times on a daily but you don't pick my calls.
You return my calls ten hours later to tell me how busy you were.
And before you finish explaining, you quickly tell me you have another call.

When I sent you a text begging you to pick up my calls or reply my text, you quickly replied saying,

Momma I do online business. I can't give you all the time you need.

Ooh son!!!
If you make all that money without giving me some time, some love and care, what then is the point of making the money.

My bones are weak now son. Age has taken its tow on me. But my heart can be stronger. It just needs a little bit of love from you to make it live longer.

Money is good son. But it should never come between you and the people you love.

Dedicated to all the beautiful hearts(mother,wife,husband,children) that have been neglected because of the chase of money by their loved ones.<

My Advice: Make lots and lots of money both online and offline but never allow it come between you and your family. Never allow your loved ones compete for attention with your money.

Wow this is beautiful. Very real. Many people are too busy this days, that they forget their root. Well, to me, its not actually that they forget, but they wanna make that money so they can take care of the mother/father.
But our mothers dont see it that way. They want all the attention everytime.
One should just find a balance between work and family. Especially when the man is married. The man gaz double hustle 😁😁😁😁

Lol... True sha.

Ultimately, the idea is to know how to find a balance between making money and having family time.

Ezally 😁😁🙈

This is so touching. I read the words to my daughters, replacing the 'son' here with their names. I felt like crying. I became afraid that it could happen as my kids grow. I actually asked them and laughed out so loudly when they both said " yes, we will be busy". I pray all will be well with all mothers. Our kids will be busy but remembering us will be part of their business

Awwwwwwwwwww are you serious? They said that.

Amen sis.

The prayer of every mother is to have kids that would be busy making money but would not allow the money come between them.

Wawu..... This is so touching... Mother's love is so extraordinary.... So dearie and charming... I love my mom so much....

Who sat and watched my infant head
When sleeping on my cradle bed,
And tears of sweet affection shed?
My Mother.

When pain and sickness made me cry,
Who gazed upon my heavy eye,
And wept for fear that I should die?
My Mother.

Great post dear....
1-luv

Awwwwwwwww... Our mothers are special to us

Very special dear....

God bless them for us all....
