CayCay Godwin Poet Quintain (English)

MATERNAL NEED

Dedicated to Kyle, My Darling Son



My greatest need, I humbly lift high for God to nurse,
setting my soul’s deepest wish on the truest course.
Surely,  in His time, the best answer will disperse.
As birthdays pass, my questions also fast increase,
so nightmarish fears continue to seek release.

My challenged, gentle boy, is now a challenged man,
and I remain a concerned mother lacking a plan.
He has conquered much, many 'cannots' became ‘cans’,
still, he will need a true love-lean when I am gone.
I NEED to know loving aid will hold him lifelong.

Eve Roper July 9, 2016 at 10:47 AM CayCay, beautiful poem a 7 and good luck in the contest. People don’t understand that a child like this has always been loved and understand their needs that you so loving provide as much as you are able. life is hard out there for anybody to cope and it’s harder for a child with special needs they would lose their comfort love only a mother can give. Hugs Eve CayCay Godwin July 9, 2016 at 9:13 PM Eve - Extra heartfelt thanks for your input and echos of feeling. I'll not forget 'our time' today. All the best ... CayCay

Probir Gupta July 9, 2016 at 7:26 AM An ideal representative wish of mothers ... CayCay Godwin July 9, 2016 at 9:12 PM Thank you, Probir ... CayCay

Mark Woods July 9, 2016 at 12:23 AM I reckon you use the same proof reader I do ; ). I'm sure your wish will be granted. We all find love somewhere, we just need to reach out and accept it or close our eyes and remember those warm embraces and safety passed on by our parents, CayCay Godwin July 9, 2016 at 9:11 PM My proof reader was quite tired, at the giggly stage! As always, it is good to find you. I sorta miss seeing the back of you ... CayCay
