Mummy's Pain

My mummy is in pain.

Not physical pain that can be cleaned with saline wash and bandaged to heal. No.

My mummy's pain is buried deep within her soul.

Oh no. If you look carefully you can see my mummy's pain in her eyes.

What to do? To heal my mummy's pain you cannot use practical things.

To heal my mummy's pain you need patience and unwavering love. To heal my mummy's pain you cannot judge, you must be gentle, no poking and prodding at these wounds.

To heal my mummy's pain is exhausting, sometimes it seems my mummy never wants to heal this pain.

One day I hope to see my mummy no longer filled with pain.

One day.
