My Mother

 

Mother

within you I knew,

you would carry me through.

I was brought down to you

From the sky above

That from my first step,

I would yearned to be near you.

To a life of never ending love.

 But I must leave the nest

to spread my wings

  So I thank the Lord.

Of all the things

I most adore.

You,

  Mother,

who I cherish,

ever more.

For the wisdom

And guidance

That allows me to soar.

i also wrote a poem for my mother...... i havent got around to editing and posting it yet.... its funny how many of us take our parents for granted yet we could very well be like you and not see our mom or dad for 20 years!!!!! beautiful poem... it takes me usually a good couple months to get to read requests but this one caught my eyes and i just had to read it... nice work, never give up and keep on writing!
