You may use any form with any chapter as long as you do not repeat them.

For Mom
The love that you give
made me who I am today
Without you, who knows

Your love made me beautiful

ReplyDeleteChild to Parent
In the beginning, dependence
Followed by comfort then guidance.
Discipline, learning, pride;
Phasing into impatience, resentment, contempt,
The sudden shock when
Shared humanity replaces godlike infallibility.
Mutual respect becomes growing warmth,
Comradeship, trust and shared esteem.
The heart-stopping realisation of mortality
Duty and concern war with freedom
Absence, grief, haunting flashes
Triggered by family resemblances.
WOW PENNY !!!
ReplyDeleteGreat write, did you put it on your new blog too?
