For My Boy

My loving son

how quickly does he grow

with smiles and graces

and visions of me in his faces

from birth to the tender age of nine

has he grown.

 

We play and learn

I teach to discern

the wrong from the right

each day.

 

And when he becomes a man

the simple plan

is that he will use his mind, heart and soul

to share with all the simple joys

he learned all along his way.

 

The bang of the drum

the guitar strum

the dances with the butterflies

and breezes

the whipporwill song

a place to belong

and the love of his Mother

times eternity.

This is so gentle and precise...indeed as the other review says the brevity of your content is not a hindrance rather it enhances the poignant expressions of your poem...so very simple,honest and genuine.If you would have added any more words it might have seemed unnecessary and not as smooth as it is now...it reminds me of a swan swimming gracefully across the blue shimmering waves..

Your son will always be blessed. You are a loving mother my dear.

[Robert Luna]

There is nothing as grand as a mother's loving hand. This made me want to call my mother and tell her i love her. But it is late and she is in bed so until tomorrow that will have to wait. I hope that the bond of you and your son last forever and you all will be able to always count on one another. I really enjoyed this and thank you for sharing this with us.


Great Job!!!!!!!

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

wonderful piece for your son, Siddartha. He's a lucky boy to have you as his mother...

And I agree with the one before me, 100%

Siddatha Beth Pierce,

You have always been one of my favorite writers on this site, because your poetry is,
enigmatically eclectic, full of wisdom, fervor, and strength,
and your characters always come alive in a brevity of words, a poem seemingly always a long story, told long, long ago,
ages before your own wisdom,
always still there through those breezes by the hand of another,
holding yours,
sharing pen,
sharing thoughts,
sharing love and beauty do you,
and I applaud.
