Love Un-said

For all I haven't done or said,
For all these thoughts left in my head,
I'm left with tears that never end
because now you're gone;
My daughter.  My friend.
With a loving hug
and a rushed good-bye
you shut the door,
and now here I cry.
I rest my head
because I feel so weak.
I pray it's a dream,
but I dear not peek.
I take a deep breath
to subside this pain,
but it just gives me strength
to cry again.
Good-byes are hard,
but you had to go.
You need your space
so you can grow.
I gather the strength
from within to smile,
because I know I'll see you
in a little while.

Oh this is so sweet. It would be hard for me to leave if my mom wrote something so special about me.

I wrote this poem to my daughter when she was leaving home to move to Florida. It was the hardest thing I did, letting her go.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
