• Poem: How a mother feels

  

  My poem, ‘How a mother feels’ is posted on Destiny poets. Don’t ask a mother how she feels When a child leaves home the first time Not for a sleepover or the weekend or a week’s summer camp, or even an extended vacation But when a child leaves, I mean, like really leaves- to a […]
