I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop
I respect you need your space
At times it’s hard to know
Exactly where’s my place

Be your friend or mother
Depends upon your mood
If I over step my boundaries
You think I’m being rude

But walking by your door
Hearing you as you cry
The mother in me takes over
To find out the reason why

My heart breaks just watching
Each teardrop as they fall
I’m here to be your protector
Like I was when you were small

Nothing could’ve prepared me
For the reason that you ache
My baby is just too young
For that first heart break

I don’t know what to tell you
They say, “This too shall pass”
In my heart I know it’s the first
But it’s certainly not the last

Very true, Deb. Unfortunately you know as well as anyone they will have to take that same rocky road we all did, filled with bumps, potholes and detours. The parent in us wants to protect them from that - of course, we can't.

Excellent poem, miss Deb

Thanks all! I just pray that my baby doesn't follow in her Mom's footsteps with those broken hearts!

When the child is happy
The parent is at their happiest

When our children hurt,
they’re not the only one’s,
who feel the pain

It may be the child’s first
But it’s the parent’s worst

Oh gosh... now I sound like Confucious,
after one too many sake’s...

Best wishes to you Deb
And to your heartbroken child...

Please, give him, or her, our best
