Mum used to be her hero,
The person she most admired.
To grow up to be just like Mum
Was all her girl desired.

Mother is hero for child. Mother gives detail to beautify life of children and also she teaches a lot of values to daughter. Mother is wonder and token of dazzling tender heart for all children. An interesting poem is beautifully penned....10
A sad poem of the loss of someone who is still here? Wonderfully portrayed PP
Many thanks, Tom. With death, we eventually resign ourselves to the loss of the person, that they aren't coming back. But when an important relationship disintegrates, it is more painful when that other person is still living. That is why it is so splendid when a broken relationship is reconciled- - a cause for celebration! :)
when children forget where they have come from, then it's too late the damage is done.
Thanks for commenting, Louis. But, it's never too late- - as long as there is life & breath. I know someone whose only child reached out and contacted her after 15 long years of estrangement. The love of a Mum never gives up, and fortunately, children eventually grow up, settle down, and become more reasonable! :)
She wonders with broken heart missing her affectionate daughter. Mother's precious affection is remembered at every moment. Mother always gives her effort to build children. Mother is real hero for the daughter as she learns many things from her mother. A timely treasured poem is beautifully penned...10
Thank you, Kumar. What a shame that some children 'outgrow' their mothers. For a mother will ALWAYS be a mother, even when her children are grown. An child is still your child, forever.
As if the mother - daughter relationship weren't complicated enough, there also external factors to make things even worse! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for understanding, Kostas! They say that two women under the same roof can become competitive and contentious. Makes sense that an adolescent girl & her Mum would have a battle of the wills.
A well-penned and sadly a very true write about the adolescents of today. The ending line superbly summed up a mother's grief. I'm sure there have been many moms or parent that had that same question. Great job with this topic!
Thanks so much, Aqua! So many kids get too big for their britches, and think that they are wiser than Mum- - must be the hormones kicking in, and warping their thinking! Thankfully, kids mature, and settle down eventually! :)
nicely written- Before long, adolescence Was up to its old tricks It put the Mum and child at odds, And threw that in the mix. //nice 10+++
Thank you, Bernard. I suppose that's part of growing up- - Realising that your parents aren't perfect, and taking them down off the pedestal they've been placed on.
It is sad that the mother is no longer a hero to her daughter.
Quite sad indeed. Sometimes this is merely an indication of growing independence. But all too often, it is indicative of rebellion or the bad influence of corrupt companions. Thanks, Michael, for your comment!
