Listening to every heart

You are mine

You snuck in
peering round my corners
as I careened
through life
then you grabbed my heart

At first you held
on to me
tightly
so tightly
we shared cooing
and you were dependent
on my many
moods

But as things go
we both had a lot of
growing to do
even when
there were days we
collided together
in laughter
there were other days
we bruised
egos

Still, you were mine

I tried desperately
to recall how it was for
me before you
the struggles would not
always come back
because I was placed in
this “place”
and had to take on the
roles created by
loving you

For you were mine.

Soon,
too soon

you loosened your grip
and explained you
no longer needed
me

while it was expected
it still hurt

for you were still mine.

In the letting go
there was a sense of
freedom for both
but at what cost

I wonder if I am
still as much yours

as you are still mine

only time, and your
own children,
will tell, will know, will sense...

I’m here.

How true these feelings of a mother for her child..
how hard to let them go and grow.
We all need to be needed
which makes it all the more difficult.
This is lovely...wonderful feelings straight from your heart.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
an invincible summer.

Absolutely the most beautiful gift a mother can give her children is the gift from her heart.
You just gave yours again lady, as I know you have many many times. Hugs to all of you!

This... is beautiful in its own right... and then touches deeper, making me wonder what might have been if time had been kinder. *S*

Ladies, Sudhir, thank you.

Babies come in all shapes and sizes,
all new, all aging...and they, to some, remain "our babies".

One of the harshest things I ever heard was when my own youngest said, "Mom! Quit calling me your baby! I hate that!"

One of the most beautiful things I ever heard was when my own youngest, after having two of her own, said, "Mom? Never quit calling me your baby. I understand, now."
