Mother and Child
And She said
Yesterday I lived for thoughts and dreams
But today I live in my daughter's happiness
All my goals I left behind to watch her reach her own
All my friends I do not see to stay with her at home
Money might get tight, but what is money
compared to the pure joy of a child
What is money compared to the warmth
I find in her large hazel eyes
Success lies dormant on shelves for years to come
But what is success compared to first giggles
compared to first steps,compared to first mouthfuls
and her little grabs, Compared to gurgles and babbles
compared to the first time she calls me mama
compared to moments she holds on to my hands
What is beauty 'n the world compared to a pearl
this beautiful child,this coloured coral petite pretty girl
And she said
Yesterday I lived for thoughts and dreams
But today I live in my daughter's happiness
I had my days of wine and chocolate eclaires
Roses on the doorstep,unsigned love letters
with spiced scent of cologne and romantic words
Today I live in my daughter's shadow
to watch her live her own thought and dream
I watch her bloom in Autumn gardens
from Princess of hearts becomes queen
Tomorrow i might not be here
and maybe she would never get to see
the white of my hair and wrinkle in my smile
but today she knows I would love her forever
long more after i die
