Question: When your ma kisses your boo boo, can she really make it all better!?
Mother kisses
boo-boo,
superficial,
self-doubt too
deep!.

Heartfelt praise
cannot
undo
strangers'
ridicule!.

Ignorance's
deft stabs
defeat
love's purest
kiss!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is really classic in its voice!.!.!.i shall write it down to my diary!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

More times than not with kids, boo boos are mostly mental!. When they fall down, the initial pain causes them to cry!. But when I am through doctoring my kids' boo boos I always add a kiss to the end!. This assures them that they are fine thus making it better!. Knowing that they are loved makes them forget the pain of the boo boo!.

In my mother's case, the kiss was that of betrayal, so I believe I vividly understand where you are coming from, seeing as the wounds of self-doubt at a stranger's words were never truly healed!. Thank you for this beautiful poem, saying so much with so little!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As a newcomer, I would not be so brash as to make suggestions!.

After their grown, and the scars and bruises pile up,My thoughts are
"I can't put a band aid on it anymore!." As much as I'd like to kiss it away, same goes for the grand kids!.
