Hearts filled with quality time

"For my son when he leaves the house.....still a few years though"

Precious moments, weaved like threads of gold
Of when we giggled through tickles
And cried together when bad news rocked
Our barely floating boat on the oceans of life.
You take the helm - you now know all I do,
But I am happy to help when storms batter you.
Life is yours for the taking -
Take it with all that you've got.
Don't hold an ounce of effort for reserve
And when you sail into that harbor of lovely safety
You dreamed about for so long,
I will be waiting there, welcoming you,
With a cup of hot coffee, and a hug that will rattle your spine.
We'll take a stroll on the deserted beach
And chase funny memories
Of when you thought the ocean
Was a bathtub for people without homes,
While the waves chase our deep footprints
And leave them, overflowing,
Nearly as much as our love-saturated hearts.

You take the helm - you now know all I do,
But I am happy to help when storms batter you.
Beautiful words from a mother to her son. As a mother, it is comforting to know they will be fine on their own but that they will always have love and support.
Beautiful poetry and a delight to read.

Thanks for your lovely comments....:)

In my case, though, words from a father to a son....:)

Just great poetry, the writing, the structure,and the theme of a strong love between two people.

Sigh... This is pure brilliance. It just reaches within the chest and warms the spirit. So beautifully done. 'Life is yours for the taking - Take it with all that you've got.' I live by these very words... Just so refreshing this is. Can't possibly choose a favorite line when I adore each.

And awww!!! You mentioned me! Hugs!!

Hahahaha!! What?:) Oh boy, I sure do love a challenge... But 24 hours? You gotta be kidding.:) Well... Maybe I can. We will see. I'm working on something else right now that takes priority. But who knows? I may just be struck with a thought. And love the title choice... Can totally work with that.;)

This Poem came to me after reading "Sometimes" by Kylie Spell (on WC)
