Be happy if your mother still <br />lives in the house behind the mill. <br />When youthful struggles slowly fade <br />your soul can yawn, you've got it made. <br /> <br />She smothered you with mother's love <br />sang lullabies, smiled from above. <br />Draconian beatings from your dad <br />she cheered you up when times were sad. <br /> <br />They say that mothers always stand <br />right next to us, to hold our hand. <br />And from the brink they bring us back <br />and re-assurance they don't lack. <br /> <br />So many years we had this bond <br />and when I left, and crossed the pond <br />I thought of her as my dear friend <br />from womb to grave, it would not end. <br /> <br />The Devilgrabbed her aging heart <br />she forged a cup, a work of art <br />together with the thieving fink <br />the hemlock was for me to drink. <br /> <br /> <br />She took his hand and hid her shame <br />ignored the hoof and Satan's game. <br />On Sunday she would do confession <br />and sing his praise, in choir session. <br /> <br /> <br />Oh, mother can you hate me so <br />no truth inside your soul may grow. <br />It seems that in a sudden flash <br />you threw your son out with the trash.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/verlassen-english-version/
