No matter how much you try
to protect your children,
they will eventually experience
their own pain.
Jodie Morrison
As your mother,
I may not be able to take
all the pain for you but,
as long as I am able.
I will take as much as I can.
Frankie Crabtree
Come to me with your burdens dear
She whispered as she held me near
Mama take this pain away
In your arms is where I want to stay
Little was I aware
That every ache she took from me;
was one more for her to bear.
Tina Bell
I feel your pain 10-fold child,
as it was me who tried
to stop it from happening.
Aleah Aleng Aquino
It pains the mother more
when the child is hurting.

New Wounds Bring Back
Old Hurts
Jedie Boy A. Cabañero
Every time you were hurt,
she was there hurting seven times more,
by just seeing you suffer.
And wishing she could take the pain away.
Because she loves you
Sunny Marie
I embrace my inner child.
How innocent she was,
even with that first wound!
Although, I’ve endured much more pain,
I remember.
Nirekshitha Kunder
No matter how much
I protect you my dear!
The pain will surpass me I am clear.
Time to tell you, my little girl
that the world won’t be fair.
Everyone has got to take their pain’s share!
But don’t you fear, for in you
I can see the birth of another
indomitable woman near.
Rinku Shah
Hold on tight, till you feel alright.
There are more battles to be won,
my little one
Let me show you what love is like,
even if the world is out to strike.
Sarrveshwaran
You can’t safeguard someone always.
As you safeguard them,
they grow up naive and innocent
and when they experience a bitter reality,
it will be too hard for them
to accept the pain.
Sulekha Pande
The world’s a cruel place,
come my child,
to the warm embrace,
the first wound
is the hardest to bear,
I know it well,
child, I’ve been there.
Daniel Boone
Unresolved trauma
is passed down
unless it’s interrupted
by change.
