In another life, I'd be your mother
To the world you are just a person But to me you are the world You are the rarest of the rare To the point no one can compare Every hug healing a piece of me you didn't break Everytime you smile I know that no matter what I go through I'll always have you You are my heart And nothing...

Premium Member To my son on his birthday
To My Son, On His Birthday Today you stand, a year more bold and bright, A soul so full of wonder, joy, and grace. Each dawn you chase with laughter and with light, A universe of love shines in your face. I’ve watched you grow through seasons vibrant hues, From tiny hands to dreams too wide to hold. The world feels kinder...

Data-Licious
Written By: D. Collins 5/29/25 I like info short, drama-free, and concise. The Alpha and Omega just so I get it right. Anything in between is just padded fluff. Which is 98% of what's inside of us. That little 2% are who I'm trying to get at. Who base their decisions on presented facts. They're people like me who see the...

Cluck turns a cry
Near the yard, I heard the mother bird's loud cluck, A signal to pull a sly trick on the hick. Yuck! Her chicks all ran wild and scampered amok, Scattered by the bumpkin swinging a big stick. The dispersed chicks drew a cast of circling hawks, That were happy to see meals within their grasp....

Mother left
I can hear your heartbeat inside me Even though you're gone. I prayed for you my whole life. You finally came, So full of love and light. We were always together. I thought we always would be. I took care of you, and you I'm watched out for me. Then one day,...

Nature
I was lost in a place where there was no peace. Though my heart was swallowed by the universe. Birds sang a melody through the sky. The forest was nourished by all of kinds. The spirit of mother nature conquer, the wild. "Nature, Nature" The poetry of nature has fallen. The spirit is conquering around the wildness. Hope,time has no use....

The things she left behind
The things she left behind Her tombstone stood amongst others who shared the same fate The air in the cemetery Heavy With the the weight of the souls it carries Her epigraph read: Beloved mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend Her family there to pay their respects Tomorrow they will lead a protest Her son left behind...

The little girl at the muesum
Museums A place full of stories Of art Not just in the paintings But in the people too A little black girl walking hand in hand with her mother Her eyes lit up in wonder Wandering what she would discover While she walks around Spinning around And jumping up and down She doesn't see That everytime she jumps the light reflecting on her beautiful...

Where's My Home
Mother – A Feeling Mother... An emotion, a shadow, a voice. Whether she belongs to someone or not, whether she’s with you or not, everyone knows what a mother is. Ask anyone, and only one answer comes— Care, love, sacrifice. She may not be present in her own life, but she’s supposed to be in ours. I don’t know what a mother really is, but I...

Something it out there on that tree And that little critter is watching me He had his binoculars up in the air And so did the creature, to be fair Two watchers having fun watching each other Brothers from another mother The bird was speaking in his headset He’s not eaten his supper yet Why do you people watch every day? You are a...
