Didn't we all and then trying to balance was nothing short of a nightmare...
Be always safe,

Juliet,
It's hard leaving children to go to the work world. But so necessary in this economy. You've described the hurt of a mother hating to leave her little ones so well.

Juliet,
There's struggle in this and anxiety and a great deal of love...the need to work, leave loved ones behind, the pain and worry of separation...you unfold them all tenderly and so personally it gives the poem a lasting richness.

Our generation saw the beginning of a whole new family composition. We as first children who saw our grandmother's as stay home Mom's to our mother's as part time workers to finally the majority of women needed to work to keep up with the rising cost of living. Great capture of the hard decisions mother's made and the separation anxieties that went along with it.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't - what to do? Heartbreaking choice, this necessary evil called work - as if a Mommy's job isn't hard, enough - well penned, Juliet.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. |
