Oh what fears inside my belly grows the kicking of someone's little feet my heart keeps time my body defines the swelling of every beat what magical dreams you came to be your tiny, silly putty face now chiseled and molded with attitude and eyes rolling to every thing I say I don't have all the answers I have a lot of questions Like how did you get so tall? Just yesterday you were so small... I mourn for my little boy Where did he go? Does he know I miss him so? Oh the kicking of little feet now feels like a stampede across my heart that used to beat simply for the smell of your little head the touch of your tiny hand the bright blue in your eyes I hope you realize Someday Letting go is like... Someone is taking you away! But I will step back and let you run the race God give me strength as I look at your peach fuzz face with razor in hand you're becoming a man I'll hold the tears back somehow Because You are... Someone now [This message has been edited by rwood (edited 02-29-2000).] |

WELCOME! Wow! Though mine are quit old enough for razors yet, though I sure can relate to this one! Once little toddlers and the touching and hugs. Have now become, how can I put this, independence? The words that hurt, hmmn, I can surely relate to this! I hope to see more from you, and I hope you will enjoy the spiritual forum. We have a great bunch of people here.

Oh the hands of time we cannot control So train up a child in the way they should go Then surround them constantly with prayer And trust they're always in God's care. Lovely writing from the heart of a loving mom. Welcome aboard! |

You laid your heart out in poem. Nice. I can relate to your emotions, which you clearly displayed, as my boys are men now. "Oh the kicking of little feet now feels like a stampede across my heart that used to beat" I really liked this line. Alle'cram |

well i'm late but better late than never - WELCOME! I can't relate because i'm only 20, but i thought your poem was beautiful - heartfelt, nostalgic... I liked the ending, it was in a sense a letting go. It must be difficult, but know that you have done your part, and done a good job - that will never be forgotten. Great poem by a great mum. |
