We all have this inner battle going on, and most times we do need to hold back (after repeatedly yet lovingly guiding someone). <BR/>This entire poem is genius - and the words are so expressive. I love it, but I hope I never have to think it. Motherhood is not an easy street.

As I read it, I just felt like I was reading words from my own heart. From my step son hating me (I've nearly raised him since he was 3) to watching my own son begin to think I'm not so great anymore. "A mother's love can soar with pride but her heart can easily be broken."
