Jean Murray Poet Verse

Mother Love

This story you may not believe,
but I knew she was meant to be.
In dreams she came, a form like an angel,
in a rhapsody of pure unconditional love.

Fathomless then and still to this day,
I saw her reflected in the twinkle of my eye.
I felt her tug gently at my heart strings.
Her thoughts and mine seeming as one.

Ever since I became that mother, loved
beyond reason through my darkest years,
guided by her calming spirit through my fears,
I know I shall embrace the quietus of eternity fulfilled.

I have three beautiful daughters as you know. If you knew how Rena made it here from where she was waiting...well...that's another poem entirely. Lovely to see you this evening and thank you.

Silent One March 22, 2018 at 3:43 PM You are a wonderful mother Jean who has overcome many a storm to keep your babies dry and away from danger... Also you deliver lots of babies, so that makes you even more awesome.. Congratulation on your first place, we should all be there for one another, so we can all be strong.. Jean Murray March 22, 2018 at 5:07 PM Silent, you are too kind. Thank you.

Eve Roper March 19, 2018 at 10:07 AM this is so beautiful a child does pull at your heart strings.. I wrote about my son on my poem except it was the opposite because we had just gotten into a fight.. would you believe over a silly thing he is for our president and I am against.. he feels everyone is just trying to make our president look bad :( Eve Roper March 20, 2018 at 12:59 PM I feel he was right when it came to his own opinion.. , but like you said moms are right ... :) Jean Murray March 19, 2018 at 2:51 PM I know it feels bad to argue with someone you love so much Eve. But being grown up for them means they must stand their ground, so I suppose we must accept their point of view. Even though Mothers are always right!

Arturo Michael March 18, 2018 at 5:08 PM I got a glimpse of that special connection between mother and child from your poem...it's a part of you detached and alive...another you...Lovely dedication Jean...All the best Jean Murray March 18, 2018 at 5:27 PM I don't follow Rena on twitter Arturo but my other two daughters tell me she has my wicked wit. Edna has my stubbornness and Cora has my "whatever" attitude. To see each spread their wings has enriched my own life so much. Thank you for your lovely comment.

Viv Wigley March 18, 2018 at 2:37 AM A lovely sentiment, jean, that made good use of the required words, and a nice keepsake. I'd print it and frame it with a photo of your young 'un. Viv x Jean Murray March 18, 2018 at 5:09 AM I'm obviously crazy mad nuts about her Viv. What I will do is use the greeting card maker to marry the poem to a recent picture of her and I together. I gather up a pile of them then turn them into a wee book. For Xmas, my sister in Australia received my first signed copy. Could be worth something someday.

Jan Allison March 15, 2018 at 6:25 PM what a wonderful bond between mother and child jean, you are blessed with three gorgeous girls:-) hugs Jan xx Jean Murray March 15, 2018 at 6:26 PM Indeed I am. Nice to see you Jan. Thank you for stopping by.
