I do want you
though I will never know the why
you are my knight of promise
as the sun dips in the sky

I do need you
as moon bestows in beam
I need you to complete me
you're the child of whom I dream

I do hear you
as you whistle down the wind
a stranger much too often
though I would call you friend

I do love you
as the days go wandering on
but maybe not as you think
I love you as a son

One who needs encouragement
from the world outside
one who needs my comfort
... and a place to hide

and know this my foolish one
though push me away you'll try
I'll need you, love you, want you
until the day I die.

Kethry dear heart, this is utterly one of you best, absolutely perfect. Don't I always say that you can write and dear heart, when you do you produce such wonderful works that I could weep in vexation. (Jealousy is a dreadful thing isn't it! Oh it's okay I'll call it sibling rivalry, there's loads of that with my natural sisters!)
I really love this one dear heart
Take care love as always

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

Be real

Kethry~
This mother's heart knows that we always reach beyond -
to keep the hearts of our children close to our own.

Beautiful sentiments, dearie.

Marge, NkedThoughts and Charisma, Thanks and sorry to disappoint you this was not written for my son, it was written for a very good friend who doesn't want me to love him ...so I don't...but I do care about him a great deal hence the reference to the child of my dreams. My son is the child of my nightmatres...but I love him too... deeply and dearly.
Be real and love seal.
Keth

I tried to pick a favorite verse and couldn't... they each touch me. *S* This is great, Kethry... all we can do is offer. *S* Acceptance is up to them.
