first born

some sap for you

You will
always be
the first,
my baby,
my girl,

but more than
that you
are you're a
curly haired
monster with
a devlish grin -

"Who me?"
clever one
fools them all
but me ...

I'm mama
remember
and know
your little
tricks
cause
they're
embedded in
my DNA  -
as is your larger
than average
vocabulary
and your
amazing
spark -

but most
important,
you are
my heart.

Moms eh? I heard they are all magic and know spells and potions and can read our minds and know when we are sad, even though we pretend everything's fine. And how the flip do they always know what I really wanted for dinner and know things fit just by looking at them.
Shh, keep it secret, but Moms are magick :)

Kids always reckon they know better; how could they not with so little experience. Important it is indeed to show then the way.

Loved this.

Thank you, I appreciate the warm review.

I love your sap! This makes me feel warm inside. Those last four lines though...says it all x

Thank you my friend. At the time this was written, the softer poems were few and far between. Thankfully, the good ones far outweigh the bad now.:)

Getting clearer. The first section:
You will always
the first
my baby
my girl,

Perhaps:
You will always be
the first
my baby
my girl,

Thank you. What would I do without you, you would think I bite by the way people never correct me, lol -

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ok I can live with that!

that attachment to the first born...nicely expressed here.

An interesting piece but the words and the picture threw me. I read it before looking at the photo and saw it as a mother looking at her eldest son, not the first of the litter!

mother and eldest daughter. Shakespeare is our cat.

due to the slight confusion, I added two lines:)
