Burden Baby

Rating: 4.5


Were you born
ever to be a burden.
Then for your mom,
at her lap.
Now for me
in my heart.

It's difficult to love somebody with a spirit so wild. a mother would constantly be worried, and a lover always at his feet.. atleast that's how i understand it. I can almost feel for you.. Good job..

I don't think that you mean a burden as a burden, but in the love that's in your heart, the worry of the expectations that you have for your loved one, what the future holds for your baby, all these things can weigh heavy on ones shoulders, it's a burden we gladly carry, great work Osceola

I suspect there is more than a hint of irony in this piece about love and need. Simple words say so much. love, Allie xxxx

Surely if you carry this person in your heart, they are not truly a burden... Hugs, Dee
