The Rock

The rock upon the mountaintop

Sublimely placed in time

never to be erased

but as sturdy

as this family tree

our blood linked umbilically.

 

From the cradle to the grave

you will wear my name

meaning of which is 'the rock'

and that upon which I stand

as you grow from youth to man

I will depend on thee someday

for eternal care

as I have given thee unconditionally

through the years

and wept the tears of motherhood

so gladly I wear that claim.

 

As closely as we can be

one and the same

in name yes

but not only there

in heart and mind and soul

we are forever blessed

to have one another here.

Something made me abruptly stop what I was doing and read this...
Incredible...
I love the refrence to Peter...and the legacy of building the church of people to love and follow God.
Not unlike the love & teachings we instill in our children hoping they will be that rock for us as well.

Don't know how old your son is but ....he one day will be touched by this poem.
unless...I'm way off the GPS on this
