Little Angelo

~ on motherhood ~

 

I thank God

For bringing me sun in the day

For the light of the moon in the night

For the stars in the absence of moonlight

 

I thank God

For the flowers I smell

For the song of the river I hear

For the air I breathe

 

I thank God

For giving me strength to labor

For giving me bed to rest

For giving me faith to pursue

 

Above all

 

I thank God

For I have my Little Angel

For without his breath

I am lifeless even He

Abundantly endows me

With wonderful gifts.

Author's Note

mother can take every madness the world has to give, but not a moment without her son...

Such a sweet and heartfelt piece...I can really hear and feel the maternal love that pulsates through this piece...it's like a little personal hymn :)

The bond between mother and son is one one of the most solid,
complex and beautiful, in all of nature. I enjoyed this uplifting
poem.

I love the love you have for your son...
And how it makes you shine....

Breathtaking dear Belle...

Whatever the separation may be in time .. we suffer loss .. A Mother's tie is forever .. My girls are 37 & 39 .. and a day never passes, that I do not think of them, and a tear falls, and a prayer goes up .. It's called LOVE ...

Beautiful .. Jazz

A beautiful poem. Children give us reason and purpose to be alive. I get up each day and do my best for my children need be alive and well at the moment. I Like the positive feel and the perfect ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

i think you understand this kind of motherhood
more than anyone else...Family is always the top
priority--the Filipino conservative way of life :)
