Are mothers destined to be plagued by guilt
that stems from houses we’ve carefully built?
Can we escape remorse from what we do?
Can we give to them and to ourselves too?
When a child is sick and I sleep all night
my heart feels a pain that’s tugging and tight
Guilt flows from the money that I bring back
from work that whispers to me what I lack:
Time with them to be the one who attends
and in the dark of night, to make amends.
Am I destined to be harassed with shame
as I search my soul for what desires blame?

3~perhaps… random silly answers to serious questions…hope it brings you a smile…
we must not allow guilt to poison our souls…i’m sure you are a wonderful mother…i believe all moms can relate to this…
perhaps ponder how by feeling guilt you are modelling this for your children…guilt is useless…

Guilt is inevitable, and it does eat away at us. We shouldn’t let it, of course, but it’s sometimes hard to push it aside.
so true…i often wonder why it seems as if mothers feel more guilt that dads do…
