Jean Murray Poet Blank verse

My Precious Girls, My Lovely Children

My precious girls have made my life well lived.
Given back more love than I could give.

Each toothless smile, each faltering step.
My soul soared, my heart leapt.

Who could want for more than this?
A loving, pure, embrace and kiss.

Grown up now, babies no more.
Lots of memories, kept in store.

I love you each more than the other.
From deep within my heart, your mother.

Kl Williams November 12, 2015 at 3:39 PM Beautiful. Children are such an inspiration. :) Jean Murray November 12, 2015 at 4:33 PM Thank you. Like you, I have been a single mother for the past six years. Before that, I endured 23 years of being emotionally abused by a "Street angel, house devil", for the love of my girls. C'est la vie.
