Could you all please tell me if this sounds like a love poem or a poem that was written to a child from its mother????????

Dancing in my dreams

I closed my eyes tonight
To remember your innocent smile
Could I live this lifetime
In my dreams for awhile
Shadows dancing threw my head
Of a love, long lost beyond
I see your deep blue eyes
Sparkling like the moon’s reflection
I reach my hand out to you
Threw space and time only
To find a mirror of sadness of
The divine
I cant quite reach your open arms
Who could be causing this torture
So unruefully given to me
To the madness only to realize
Its only you dancing threw my dreams
And a true reality that can not be

I think you probably wrote it for your son, but I could be wrong. It could be written for either, in my opinion. It is very touching and beautiful.

Connie-
Yes, it's a ~L~O~V~E~ poem.

So much ~L~O~V~E~ from mother to child.

It is a beautiful love poem, and the only word that really tells me it's from a mother to a child, is "innocent" - the smile described that way gives it away, that it's to a baby.
Well written, and very haunting and sad.  I've been there too.

This is just so sad...yet beautiful.
