The Best Any Mother Ever Birthed and Reared

The Best Any Mother Ever Birthed And Reared



He stared back at his life amazed
a scattering of miracles here and there
many cried out that he was crazed
when he gave that stern look and stare

Back there vast plains loudly waved
forested jungles crept up so very slow
Nature he wanted touched and saved
a tragedy of pain that the angels know

Dry, dead cities awaited his return
the man that set beauty in the blue sky
his life , a tree destined to burn
walking where others feared to even try

A man among men they admired and feared
the best any mother ever birthed and reared!

Robert, the first thought that entered my mind was that this has Jesus Christ as the inspiration. Your dedication slightly threw me off, but I maintain my interpretation. An awesome 7. All the best to you and your beloved! :D Kim
