Poetry: For my child 59 Articles

I Love you Mom

As he walked out the door I asked,
"Where is my kiss?"
He gave me a look only a 6
year old can give.

For a brief moment I saw
in his eyes of gray,
the need for Independence,
so I backed away.

When did he stop needing me
to

Will you forget the day you were happiest

Will you forget the day that changed all things?

Will you forget the day that love came through you?

Will you forget, Will you forget?

Some days are meant to be sad

Some days they make

My adorable baby has come upon two
As warm and as sparkly as a new morning dew.
Each day enhances her sweet grace and charm,
A gift God has granted and placed in my arms.

The voice of an angel and the soul of a saint,
A fresh breath

For my child, I would work two jobs
so she can go to a private school...

For my child, I would go without
so he could have...

For my child, I would face
a gun, a fist... anything...

For my child, I will strive
to be a better person,

DADDY'S GIRL

Where have the years gone?
How quickly you have grown,
From the babe I brought home,
Small and petite in every way,
A perfect vision, if I may.

Where have the years gone?
American Girl dolls made you smile,
Swinging and

Too Young To Understand

It's time to go to daycare
Mommy's off to work again
Don't forget your boots dear
I think it's going to rain
There are tears of separation
A mother feeling guilt
A child not understanding
This is the world we've

I wait for this...

when you run in toddling hops

to climb the couch

and beg

with dimpled, reaching fingers

for me to stretch beside you.

A miniature arm pushes under my neck

and you knead your hand through my hair,

pulling at

You're an angel in disguise
At least you are to me
You've turned our little home
Into a precious family

I know that there are times
When my patience wears so thin
I take you in my arms
And say "I love you" once again

You seem to be the

Child of my Child

Child of my child, love of my love
your soul belongs to God above.
A precious miracle so wondrous to see
the child of the child of my love and me.
So precious to hold, to love, to share
to teach God's way in heavenly

Spring Wind in Your Hair puts Joy in my Heart

The first warm day

I drop everything to

Take you for a walk

Around the block

The wind makes you blink and turn your head

Big and little shoes

Your tiny feet at double pace

Just to keep up

My Beautiful Daughter

It seems as if it was only yesterday you came into this world

And in that moment, I was changed forever

It was the most amazing thing to ever happen in my life

There you were with your perfect little fingers,

For My Child

I went without.
I refused to shout.
I got thinner
if dinner only stretched to three.
I let them all sit on my knee,
even though there was only really room for two.
I spared the rod without spoiling.
I didn't reach boiling

Julianna

My Julianna is alive and beautiful,
This I hardly believe could be,
She is as lovely as possible,
The little angel was sent to me.

She brings me joy and happiness,
This special baby of mine,
It scares me so-I do confess,

My little One,
You are brighter than the morning sun.
My pure and innocent, tiny treasure,
My love for you, I cannot measure.
In your sweet, precious hands,
You hold my heart, and all my plans.
Whenever you hurt, I feel your pain.
Your

THE REDISCOVERY OF MY HIBERNATING INNOCENCE (THAT ONLY JUST WOKE UP)

The other day i found a boy
Useless, really, given he was a toy
Eyes like toffee, hair like night,
When he turned up he gave me a fright.
"Who are you?" i dared

I loved you as an infant,
Innocent and sweet.

I loved you as a toddler,
Wobbling on your feet.

I loved you as a two year old,
Terrible and all.

I loved you at age three,
Catching your first ball.

At age four I loved you,
And letting go

He lives as gently as he can,
And thru it all he is a man.
Thru all the time that's good or ill,
With faith and love, he comes thru still.

When as a boy his hair was tossed,
He'd run to me with buttons lost.
Now he has sons I'm eager

For my child, I want you to know that I love you.
For every tear you cry, I want you to know that I feel your pain;
You are what makes me the mother I am today.

For my child, I would go to any lengths to make sure that you are safe.
