My son, Robert Martin Roper, wrote these in his teens.  I found them last night, so I had to place them here on Poetry Soup for safe keeping.

Mine own son God, did bless me sunshine that's mind mine own heart's petals bloom joy i did shed while i did see thee in mine arms wast w'rthwhile lullabies sung as thee didst lie in thy crib meaningful mem'ries as i beholdeth into thy eyes et'rnal sunshine is still mine own total joy By: Eve Roper 1/14/2021
Striving Through Horror Pain By: Robert Roper Striving through horror pain The total peace for me to find Was letting go to clear my mind It was that simple I just had to open my eyes. As true as everything holy At night I’ll look to the skies Embracing the healing moon light Brings peace in my eyes. Trying to get lost In the earth’s beauty God gave But he gave one more beauty Embedded in my mind My heart I gave. As I sit alone Diamonds glistening on the lake I beg the lord Please seal my fate. A soft wind A gentle mist On my body I can feel your kiss. Dazed and mesmerized It wasn’t enough My body tingled I could feel your touch. I couldn’t take it I cried out hoping you could hear As the rain started to fall I could feel your tears. As I opened my eyes That’s when I realized My peace My heart My soul My life Where in hear eyes Striving through horror pain The total peace for me to find Was letting go to clear my mind It was that simple I just had to open my eyes. To Halona By: Robert Roper I can’t stop thinking about you. You are too good to be true. Those are words, I never thought I would say, I can’t stop dreaming of you. In my mind your essence stays, But my hart, It reaches for you, And in my arms, I wish for you to lay. Your skin is like the water, Flowing so smooth and so soft. I can only dream, When you touch me, It feels Just as soft. Soft as the peddles, Growing from the stem. When you feel my heart beat, Your body glows, And glows again. Just the tingling sensation, Will lead my hands, Threw out the night. Every curve and inch of your body, Painted in my mind. Your physique is so right. Like my hands where a paint brush, And your body was my canvas. Looking upon you, A perfect masterpiece, Was in my sight. You say you might keep me warm, Please feel my kiss. Let me prays upon your body, Why I don’t sleep By: Robert M Roper It gets hard to dream anymore Lose sight of what’s real and true For a moment in time What seems to be perfect And what happens to a few Nothing more than wishful thinking Self pride said that shouldn’t be said Take what life gives to you And not the stories you read Time is the taker of life But makes us grow to be strong Makes us who we are And where we belong It is our teacher The joy but mostly the pain Letting us live for something more Making us cry in vain Many nights I laid there and dreamed Waking up in a warm sweat I no longer see What I dreamed for Will it be real Only the life taker time will tell Should I be waiting No My heart hurts to much For now and forever I will never wait for I will never dwell Let me show you sensual bliss. Let me do to you, How your body makes me feel, Weak, Selfless, And nothing else exists. Halona I can prays over you, Throughout the night, But I would rather just show you, Let me hold you tonight. My son, Robert Martin Roper, wrote these in his teens. I found them last night, so I had to place them here on Poetry Soup for safe keeping. Mother's Day Happy mothers day to the most amazing mother and grandmother that the Lord blessed upon this earth. You have always been the heart and the love of our family the strength when we needed it and the light that keeps us looking into the future with our heads up no matter what happens. Your children and grandchildren hearts beat with so much love because our hearts came from you. Love you so much mom and not just this day but every day that has ever past in my life because not one day alone is enough to recognize the amazing mother you are but to me every day is mother's day because of the love you have always given to us on each one of our waking days. Love you mom 5/9/2021

These are awesome and poetry is in the blood - probably your grandchild will write poetry. MY great grand father wrote poetry, my grand father did and I do. I hope your son continues, why doesn't he join poetry soup? Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
