Connie Marcum Wong Poet Free verse

Sun of My Son

I see in your precious smile
An endless road, 
Perhaps infinite,
With a wide eyed innocence 
That journey’s beyond 
What sight can see.
Contentment fills your face 
As vivid as a rainbow’s arc 
Through fine mist
Ever hinting of a loftier place--
A sacred place that dwells within.
My gaze falls upon a mature soul
Still nurtured in the bud of youth,
Who retains a wisdom of many lifetimes.
Your gentle guidance inspires your
Parents to reach for the unattainable.
I remain awestruck 
By your radiating aura
As it intermingles with mine, 
Leaving me exalted in knowing 
You are a gift divine.


*Dedicated to my two year old Grandson Brody

Willie Wright August 5, 2012 at 12:05 PM Impressive. An beautiful array of word usage. A thought and intelligently written poem. Thanks for your comments as well.

Judy Ball March 27, 2012 at 1:41 PM This is truly awesome Connie. It speaks of the love of a mother for her child and all the hope and beauty she sees in him. Before you have children you don't really think about the important aspects of life but once you hold that little bundle for the first time you want to be all that you can be for him or her. Great stuff. God Bless, JB Connie Marcum Wong March 27, 2012 at 2:20 PM Yes, my daughter in law has found this to be true after giving birth to my grandson whom this poem is about. Mahalo

Carolyn Devonshire March 7, 2012 at 10:55 AM What a lovely deication to your grandson, Connie. It's so nice to read your work again. I am among those who believe we learn and grow through many incarnations. Those whose growth is nearly complete are often referred to as "old souls." Having such a precious grandson must give you much comfort. Love and blessings, Carolyn

Tim Ryerson February 27, 2012 at 10:06 PM Wow, Connie! What a wonderful dedication to your grandson...got me a little misty-eyed there! Every line is a true gem. As grandparents,our job is to spoil them rotten and then promptly send them home to their parents when they get too rowdy...we got it made don't we? As always, thanks for your very kind comments and support - Tim

Natalie The Rogue Rhymer February 18, 2012 at 8:44 PM Connie-This is so fantastic-love "still nutured in the bud of youth"! Love the title too :) I've always said I'd have kids if I could skip right to the grandkids! I've heard that when it's fun :) Connie Marcum Wong February 18, 2012 at 9:23 PM It is....you get to do all the fun things with them and you don't have to be the bad guy. You can spoil them with gifts and your children can't complain because they know you won't be around forever. It is the best of times. Mahalo for your comment.
