Mommy

Very personal...

Mommy, it's my birthday!
Are you thinking about me?

Mommy, do you remember?
Mommy, do you miss me?

Mommy, do you love me?
I sure hope that you do.

Mommy, are you waiting for me to come home?


I guess this is where I get my patience from.

See, I only got
Sixty-two months,
Three days,
And six hours
Till this will all be done!

Oh this feeling,
Empty feeling,
Will be gone.

Is this wrong?

Every day I go
And push on,
And on, and on..

Will you call me your child?
Will you hold me in your arms?

Will you keep me safe,
Tell me that you love me,
And will you sing me a song?

I'm your little one.

I'll always be your little one..

Are there any that come after me,
A whole family, a world that I'm missing?

Tell me, do they smile?
Tell me, are they kind?

Cuz I have no idea
What I've been missing all my life!

I'll be there soon enough, Mama.
I hope that you're ready for me to come.

I cry..
As I write this song.

I can sense what you're feeling
From afar.

Don't leave me with a scar..

Mommy, it's my birthday!
Are you thinking about me?

Mommy, do you remember?
Mommy, do you miss me?

Mommy do you need me?
I definitely need you.

Mommy, are you waiting for me to come home?

I pray that you're waiting
For me to come home...

Finally a place
Where I can belong...

This was hard for me to write because it is very personal. I've tried so many times to write about this topic, but it just never seemed right. I tried my best to make this sound good, and I hope that it does. Please enjoy and share any feedback :)

Thank you so much!! :)

[Marcel Grant]

This was so touching! I honestly thought about a child about to be born, waiting to be in its mother's arms. Too precious. Great emotion you got with this one!

[Cool Girl]

Thank you so much! It's actually about me wondering what my birth mother is like and how/if she will accept me when we meet :)

[Marcel Grant]

That makes more sense actually... lol

Either way, nice job.

[Cool Girl]

Thank you lol

I didn't read and review this before? how could i miss it. Well, my dear sister, this poem is really touching. I could feel the weight of your words. Your work is always amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[Cool Girl]

Thank you so much! You're the best :)

[Dani The Unreviewed]

You are more than welcome sis:)

This is beautiful, so hopeful and fragile at the same time. So brave of you to put it out here for the world to see. I hope that when you do finally meet your birth mom, she is everything you hope her to be. If not, always remember that regardless of anything else, you are a beautiful and cherished soul.

[Cool Girl]

Awe thank you so much! That means a lot to me :)

I got a feel that it's a son going home to his mother after doing time. Just the feel I have, I could be way wrong. He is asking about the family and are there any that he does not know about and will they accept him?
That is my take!

[Cool Girl]

It's actually about me thinking about who my birth mom is and if she will accept me. But I like this poem because people can have many different takes on this piece! Thank you so much for reviewing and taking the time to read :)

[Perkele.7885]

I read a good piece of poetry. It was worth my time.

[wordman]

you know cool girl,it reminds me of a little girl waiting to be adopted

[Cool Girl]

I actually wrote it about myself. It's about how I can't wait to meet my birthmother one day, and how I wonder if she thinks about me. Yes, I am adopted :)

[wordman]

well I was pretty close

[Cool Girl]

Yes indeed! :) take care

[FREE_BIRD]

lots of feeling...and really nothing is worth more than mother

[Cool Girl]

I agree with you! Moms are awesome :)

[nazia]

This is a lovely write dear. Full of emotions and live straight from your heart. It is very difficult to face your emotions publicly (at least for me) and for that I give you full narks. You are a brave girl dear and I wish you all the happiness in the world.

[Cool Girl]

Thanks, Nazia! Your reviews always make me smile :) It is indeed very hard to face your emotions publicly. I actually can't believe that I did it! Thanks again for everything! You're amazing :)

I'm not a mom, but it makes me think of my two sons. You made my eyes water.

Thanks for the read.

[Cool Girl]

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to share with you :)
