Poesy Relish Poet Acrostic

My Beacon

Memories old of carefree days 

Aimless paths I took behind your gaze

Raging fire of youth made me break free

Intrusion and advise had me in a wrecking spree

Yet you stayed by me, when I lay beaten

As a ship in search of a beacon

Mom, I am blessed, for there you were, arms open.
