'Dearest' Mother, do you know who I am? <br />Do you care in the least or don't give a damn? <br />'Lovely' Mother, do you know how it feels? <br />To know early on that your fate has been sealed? <br />'Kindly' Mother, do you think of my name? <br />Would you change the name given, or keep it the same? <br />'Friendly' Mother, do you know how I look? <br />After you or my Fater, the face that I took? <br />'Splendid' Mother, do you know where I've been? <br />Could you tell me some things, from beginning to end? <br />Why then, 'Sweetest' Mother did you give me away? <br />Answer me this with nothing more to say<br /><br />Gregory Pickett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-my-mother/
