Child Of Mine


Born to me, a gift of love
eye's that said
I love you, and know you
a time we shared, all snug and warm
I kept you safe, in tummy's waiting place

Time showed a near clone of me
eye's, hair, smile
the need to be held close
to feel mama's warm touch

Soon you grew to a crazy stage
the teenage, grownup wanna be age
hair do's, hair don'ts
I need some money you'd say
honey, money don't grow on trees

Now you are all grownup
a picture of beauty
still need me honey?
sure hope so...
I sure need you


Love Always,
Mama

BR

BloomingRose,
Exactly how it is. You have told in a poem a lifetime of reality, as a child grows and confronts parents and society. Magical and sincere.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

Blooming Rose,
Sadly I have never been able to share the experience of Motherhood, but you made me feel the joy all the same.  Thank you.
