Mother May I

When I am grown and full of things
May I be known as a beautiful queen 
Just like you are so politically proud
Love spirited heart beneath cocoa breast of brown
That nurses faithful joy
Blessing someone every day
Giving praise to the Lord
Rocking babies baking cakes
May I give as much and live as well
Earn your tender touch
 Of prophecy time will tell
And for many moons
Can my children maze 
How natural beauty blooms
So true it never fades
May I live as to honor you
Mother may I be like you

I enjoy this poem which pays tribute to a mother's love. It was interesting to be written from a child's point of view. It was an excellent read. Thank you for your talent.

A wonderful tribute to moms. The way you phrase this, I am convinced you will be at least as good or better. When you can "see" like this, it reveals what you are made of. A real privilege to read what comes from your heart.
