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. © (2 April '15) *Placed 2nd in the contest 'Acrostics on Mothers Day' by Tammy Reams on 13 April 2015.
