Comment from Gloria ....
This is an excellent etheree, using the building syllable count to express that feeling often parents and particularly feel.
The one in charge of fixing things, when they themselves feel they could use some fixing.
Much enjoyed. :)

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent Etheree poem about self-reflection. It's hard to give up control of things but it's the way to peace of mind.
Well done

Please tell me Roy, this is in no way biographical. Though, I guess we are all, at some time in need of an overhaul, both spiritually and emotionally. Hope all is well with you and my concerns are unwarranted. Your writing continues to shine.

This is a very good Etheree poem. It has a pleasing construct, your line and syllable counts are correct, your accompanying artwork complements your words. A pleasing presentation. Well done!

Perfect syllable count in this etheree. The question-and-answer format of the poem creates a powerful impact on the reader. If this is biographical as stated, then I congratulate you on realizing that it's time to take care of yourself. I do hope you get all the help and support you need from family and friends.
Blessings, Julia

Ah, so true. But all moms are supposed to fix things to make it better for everyone else who depends on us, right? But it takes time to realize it's not up to us and we can release it all to God to "fix" us and others. Enjoyed your thoughtful etheree.

Comment from karenina
We are all perfectly broken... Not one of us is perfect and society whispering that we must be "more than we are" is lamentable! I love your Etheree, Debra.
Leonard Cohen, in his song "Anthem" sings a verse that I had enlarged, framed and hung on my wall:
"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in"
I worry about the youth of today, especially.
Online bullying AND marketing feed them a constant barrage of how they must change.
Maybe it's our society that needs fixing!

I think this is a very well written Etheree poem, Debra, and the words, well isn't that what motherhood is? But there is only so much we can give before we need to stop and look after us, the mum, who is cook, cleaner, nurse, washer... the list goes on. Now it's time for you. Loved this, my friend. Warmest hugs, Sandra xxx
