A lovely poem illustrated by an equally lovely flower. Worded well. Kids crave their parents' love which what you reveal here. I'm sure she loved you. Some parents don't show it so well, though. Hugs, Marilyn

Thank you for the nice review, I am slow in getting to this as I spent the last two days in the hospital with symptoms of a stroke. All tests came back normal. This has been a cut and paste. Marilyn, I have come to the conclusion that my mother did not know how to love, because I think she had problems with her mother and father. We could never get mom to open up about her childhood.

Hi Patricia. I hope you are feeling better now. You've had a trying year. Moving near your daughter is a good thing.
Regarding your mom, I'm sure she loved you. I think all parents do the best they can with what skills they have.

Not feeling loved is hard as an adult I imagine it's even worse when you're a child. Thank you for sharing your sweet memory with us and the lovely picture.

I've just finished reading four of your posts. I think they
are four of your best. Amazing that they all come at
once. I found such irony in the way you struggle with
the love from your mom and yet your love from God is
without question. Thank you for these four poems. I will
be holding you in my prayers tomorrow in church. -Bill

Great poem, it took me back to my own childhood. My only complaint is the last stanza, I believe you meant knew no stress. I enjoyed reading your poem anyway. Such childhood memories are golden.

Hi Patricia,
I'm sorry when you were young you didn't feel that your mother loved you.
My mother loved me all the time. It was my dad who seemed not to care about me. When my friends came to see me he always treated them nice.

Comment from Heather Knight
One of the nicest presents a mum can receive is a bunch of flowers picked by a child with love.
I had never heard of shooting stars. What a lovely name for a flower! And they look beautiful.
I'm sorry to hear you didn't always feel loved by your mum.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a very well written poem about feeling not to loved. You used very good descriptive wording, very good imagery and great memoires. Blessings, Teri

Hi Patricia. I did a piece like this once you know wandering back to when I was a third grader still climbing trees and picking wild grapes for mum to make jam. The jam always came out with an alcohol content ~ giggles.
Anyway, this one made me feel the warm sun and the grasses beneath my bare feet and the smell ... oh Patricia there's nothing like that smell of summer is there? I really enjoyed this side of you. Have a wonderful weekend. xoxo deborah
p.s. I did notice a little spag maybe in that last stanza second line:
"of a childhood that knew [no] stress ..."
thought maybe you forgot to add the "NO" to indicate that childhood was happy and never knew what stress was, kind of thing. :) deborah

Thank you for the lovely review, Deborah. It is not a spag. I meant exactly what I said.

Comment from lyenochka
It must have been stressful indeed for a child needing some affirmation of her mama's love. I see your art is also influenced by your love of flowers. Praise God for flowers and for His unconditional love which we never have to earn.
