Laura Leiser Poet Sonnet

Love That Lasts a Lifetime

I thought I caught a glimpse of you today
And passing by your door I heard you laugh
Or just a memory, I could not say
It fades away like dusty photographs.

I was ever there for you, so faithful
A haven from life's woes, a sweet retreat
Inside my arms we knit a bond so true
A tie so strong no other love could meet.

Yet all the while I knew you had to go
To venture out and make your dreams come true
And find a love that you could call your own
To make your mark that only you could do.

So proud to see the man that you've become
This mother's love is ever true, dear son.

Kp Nunez October 23, 2015 at 11:06 PM This is so touching, Laura. A mother's love throbs in all the lines. Brought a tear...made me think of my teenage son, of how soon he'll venture out on his own. Loved this. 7 and hugs! Laura Leiser October 23, 2015 at 11:18 PM So glad you could relate to my poem, Kim. It's hard to let them go, but I've also seen both my sons grow and become good men. Hugs, Laura:)
