My Mother And I There are two hearts that our God made from just one And now stands before him but what little girls become The world takes us places we never knew we could be And gives much light to those who are willing to see... So, the world sees myself as a young soul wanting to fly Ambitious enough to try and dance across these skies I am young to the touch and to the eyes I am free And nothing hurts to the physical young woman in me... For I can run, jump and play all through the day I'm never tired for life keeps oldness away I'm warm and rich to what God gave me in life And always I'm warm beneath the moon at night... So, the world sees my mother an old soul waiting to fly But they know she'll never make it across that sky She is old to the touch and to the eyes she's free And exactly the ending to this moment where I'll someday be... For she can't run, jump or play all through the day For the young at heart is exactly where her emotions stay She's cold and poor to what's a luxury in life And she freezes beneath that moon each night... The world sees the two in the ways we've just seen But only we know the differences in what each other dreams And though we both walk completely two different miles Only one of us carries the word in heart and smiles... Though some see me and prayed for all I had Thinking if they were me they'd never look back And some saw me move like a raging storm From place to place and to them I had much warmth... Some saw her and prayed for her to have what I have Thinking if she had just what others did she'd never look back And some saw her still move like a raging storm ahead Because we thought she cried every night in bed... But that lady wasn't poor at all as they thought She has more than I do and not a thing bought For that lady has pain we thought we could see No...she has so much more than you or me... I walk in health, I walk in a younger way But you see, I walk alone each day She has holes, the hunger, the cold and her past But she's richer than I for she walks God's path... Saun Sauni :) Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps |

Saunni~ What a lovely, heart-rendered piece. You've put so much thought into this and it is just wonderful. His is the only path to walk. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Don't ever doubt that God loves you and don't ever doubt that you are worthy of that love. Beautiful penning and expression of your soul and your heart my friend. You have grown in your poetry in your little time away from us and I am so grateful that you have come back to share it with us. If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |
