Premium Member Things My Child Said
It is quite common to kiss 'ouchys' on those wee. At three, my son asked to have bath autonomy. I tossed a washcloth, then stood where he could not see. Soon, he called out with words that completely shook me, "Mom, it washed red and sore, please come kiss my pee-pee." Shopping, strolling him down the grocery store aisle where female...

To be a strong man is a lesson to learn We must deal with heartache after we are born No sorrow, no remorse for any man It must begin in childhood when your mind can ascend Be tough with reality to see things as they are To get beat over and over until you can't take no more Fall down...

Lay your head lad, upon my breast. Stay safe in my arms, Mama's nest. Take from me nourishment you need. Wake for a time so you may feed. Then back to dreams of angels song. Been away from them, not too long. For from heaven, you came to me. Your destiny waits, but now... sleep....

A love I have never met A foreign soul Half of my being A love I would die for My heart, your heart Scared to hear it at times Because your heart is so small That it makes mine cry Alas a dead end Denying the truth A message well sent A mountain I can not move An ocean of tears, A tree that won't grow The clouds will...

Inheritance
Her grandfather called her to their front yard, “Come here, my child.” “I want to show you how to mend this net,” he said tenderly, his fingers weathered like the ropes he held, gnarled and worn like ancient driftwood. But her gaze drifted towards the horizon the pull of its horizon stronger than the weight of his quiet hopes. “I don’t want to...

Poem and Child
A poet gives birth to a poem, Just as a mother gives birth to a child. The child looks after its mother When it becomes grown; So, does a poem take care of its poet, When it becomes well-known....

Eyes wide, beady blue. With skin of silk, pink and new. A pea-sized gift, oh how you grew. You know me, and I know You. Dimpled cheeks and Puckered lips, Glossy hair so dark and thick. The littlest chin curved into a dip. The Lobes of your ears sit neat...

Love for My Children
If the world wasn't crushing me, Who would I be? If I wasn't stuck in survival mode, And I was able to dream, If breathing was a little easier, And my heart didn't beat so loud, What would I spend my energy on? What would my life be about? Would I cease to exist? Possibly find some joy? Would life have some...

Premium Member THROW MY ASHES INTO YOUR FIRE
Fate is so cruel to have brought you, into my life so late, pain hides in my roses, love is asking me to wait. I lie breathless and dying, darkness is begging for the moon, I asked for you, the wolves will be here soon. The night will be cold, I hope it snows, I tried to hold on, but I must go. I hear...

Premium Member Deja vu
As crashing waves collide with sand, It’s pictured in the water's sway– relentless, as a tide's demand to wash the tracks of yesterday. Yet, as it ebbs, new prints appear in place of those erased by sea; each step an echo, crisp and clear, a silent, screaming memory. Her eyes, like windows to the past, as forceful as the ocean's surge– to heal, then break...

Dear baby who was never born
I got to meet you just not how I hoped! I felt you grow and tried to look after you, just not as good as you would of hoped! I promise I will do better I'm sorry I couldn't for you. I'm leaving you in a safe place so you't won't be alone! With you...

My Child
Why do you fight, my child? Is it for love? Do you fight for the peace of the world? Why do you fight? Why do you cry, my child? Is it for the loss of innocence Or the gain of reality? Do you cry for those who are lost Or for those who've been found? Why do you cry? What do you...

You left this earth I stayed behind Life changed forever Sorrow consumed heart and mind Time eased my sorrow Though did not heal Granted me strength So my soul could again feel So many years it took To look at a photo of you Without overwhelming sadness Debilitating grief that pursued Time has allowed me to embrace you and your life And the incredible bond we...
