Learning As We Go

You're growing up so fast these days, when will it ever stop? I still remember your first day home, Lil blue eyes and your golden locks. You held my finger, with your whole hand, So tiny you were in my arms And right then and there, I stood and I swore, To keep you from any and all harm. Though that's impossible, I hear you say, It doesn't keep me from trying. I would take on and endure any pain, Just to keep you from crying. You'll never know the full and complete Hold you have on my heart, it's God plan, he has blessed us together, Knowing one day he will take us apart. So bare with me baby girl, I'm not any pro I wasn't born a mother, like being a daughter, We must learn as we go. So slow down and enjoy this time, God gave to you and me I'll always try to steer you clear, And aim your pain at me. But sadly enough there will be days, When you must carry your own, But never think I am not there, It's just part of learning as we go. I love you baby girl, and rather Or not you yet to see, All my advice is filled with love, Only trying to steer you free.

Hi it's nice to meet such friendly people well I started poems along time ago and for many years I wouldn't read them to anyone but my mom and my kids because it was my therapy if I had something I wanted to say or a point to get across I've never been good at explaining things lol so i express myself with poetry I haven't really wrote much lately but I would like to get back into it
