Robert Andrew Lyle Poet Free verse

Mum

Dear Mum I wish I had known you
As a person not as Mum
That I had asked you questions
Like what you did for fun
Or found out about your childhood
What your home was really like
Did you walk to school each day Mum?
Or did you have a bike
Did you search amongst the hedgerows?
Looking at the young birds there
Glancing over grassy fields
To see the boxing Hares
Did you have a love for nature?
That your whole being did excite
Watching green frogs in the daytime
Owls and crickets in the night
It must have come from somewhere
This great love that I have got
For the world around me
Whether it was you Mum or not
I miss you Mum

Henry Victor March 16, 2014 at 9:45 PM A great way of expressing love for two - in some sense one, Mother Nature! I can feel with you Andy because I had so much of love for both my mother and nature. Thanks for your inspiration. With best wishes. Henry Robert Andrew Lyle March 17, 2014 at 5:03 AM Thank you Henry for your kind words, yes loved them both unfortunately just nature left to enjoy. Thank you again. Andy
