A heartbreaking poem written by loving daughters on TikTok that will make you miss your mother
The new addition to the Somewhere Between Then and Now poetry series on TikTok, titled “I Understand Now Mom,” is a real tear-jerker and we recommend grabbing a tissue before reading.
The “Somewhere Between Then and Now” trend on TikTok has brought us numerous touching poems about love, loss, pain, pleasure, and more. But the latest film, dedicated to a loving mother and her complicated relationship with a rebellious child who has now come to the realization, is something different!
The “I Understand Now Mom” trend is inspired by a TikTok poem
As the title, “Somewhere Between Then and Now,” suggests, the poem was written by a daughter to her mother, with whom her relationship has developed beautifully over the years.
It’s common for teenagers to rebel against their mothers when they say well-intentioned words of wisdom. However, children will only realize the value when they face challenges as adults.
The poem shared by TikTok users seems more like an apology for past actions and decisions that may have harmed their mothers, as it speaks of the differences that the mother-daughter duo once shared.
