Sweet Mother

You be the reason of my outcome Be the bearer of the pain Be the endurance through my period For days to months I framed inside of you Smiled to the sound of my cry Held me close to your heart Whispered a name to my ear Called for a celebration to my birth In my sleep i felt so save from the world In your motherly nurture. I advanced to be mature Tutored me the necessity to a brighter future. The memories of childhood Be my mind's vivid picture. My childhood tears, You made me shed Has been the rod you never spared Mother and son: Bow and arrow You shot me into my tomorrow.

The magic that exist in your life is personified in the closeness you feel with your mother, the giver and nurturer of life and this is skillfully incorporated into a unusual and unique poem honoring your mother. Emile.
