Carole Duet Poet Quatrain

Mother

You picked me up.
You soothed my wounds.
You felt my heartbeat
within your womb.

You planned my future.
You stayed by my side
when I was born
to protect and guide.

As I grew
you set me free.
You saw my mistakes.
You let me be me.

You touched my soul
and taught me the truth.
I learned right from wrong
from my early youth.

Now you're gone,
but I hear you still,
speaking softly and gently
saying, "It's God's will".

Andrea Dietrich August 14, 2017 at 3:18 PM Hmm, your poem is called Mother EArth. I must be blind. I don't see it yet and I'm in a rush. You ought to give a link to it from your blog! Let me read this one, however. Carole Duet August 14, 2017 at 3:59 PM Hi Andrea...Glad you liked "Mother" but "Mother Earth" is there somewhere. It was only the 2nd poem I posted here. So, it is right above "Puppeteers".
