A Mother's Love

You turn your back and roll your eyes
I fix your collar and try to make you smile
I have so much love inside
never ending like the heights of the sky
bright like the stars that used to shine in your eyes
everyone wants for their own
fading into the darkness
until they're back where they belong
I just want to cry
I find a way to go on
find a way to be strong
find a way to bring life in my heart
when half of it is gone
you forget where you came from
you're so far from home
what happens if evil finds you?
he'll come as a sheep
a wolf is inside him
he'll come as your friend
then slither behind you
my instincts kick in
will they save you or drown you?
Im not sure of much now
but one thing is certain
a mother's love
runs deeper than the ocean

Lee Ramage Date: 9/3/2011 2:53:00 AM Hi, nice poem, and please just a few kind comments - there are a few spelling errors you might want to correct, ie- hights (4th line) should be heights and until has one "l" (8th line). Only saying this as you could enter this in a contest, but errors in spelling can make you lose it. Just do a quick spell check before posting. ;) Lee Login to Reply Christine Malliaros Date: 9/3/2011 2:56:00 AM thanks so much :)
