Girls Love Flowers

A mother's love for her son.....

 

 

I watched you since your birth

Your face memorized in my heart

A part of my flesh past down to you

 

Time stood still when you cried

Tears filled our family’s eyes

Your energy filled their hearts

 

Flesh of my flesh I ‘ll give you

Milk from my body is yours

My life I will devote to you

 

You grew up in a blink of my eye

Maturity rounded the corner today

You must create a voice of your own 

 

Soar high with the eagles above

Capture your dreams at night

Do not overlook the beauty of life

 

Take my presence of mind with you

Also take time to remember me

Go forth and be known my son

 

-Bear in mind girls love flowers-

Wow!! So sweet of you!!
Being a kid myself, I'd really like my mom to say such words to me too, some day.
The poem is full of loving, motherly emotions and all of them are very well-expressed. The reader feels in her/his heart the unconditional love that every mother feels for her child. Very well crafted...
Great Job!!! ^_^

especially that last line, a resonant sweet poem - I have two boys so this one spoke volumes to me.

This is a wonderful tribute to your son and parenthood in all it's forms Amy! It seems it is a time for us parents to rejoice in our offsprings leaps into adulthood. Brought a tear, thanks for sharing, Tai
