Lay On A Circled Rock Poem by Letter From My Mother's Womb

Lay on a circled rock

Be noble,
Do not sobble,
Just as quick you'd pick up your fallen mobile,
My child, reconcile!

Do not be too quick,
Lay on a circled rock,
Observe all from the back,
This way, observe everything attentively.

Do not be naive,
Show others love,
And in 'others' your father is included.
Do not feel from his life, excluded.

He wasn't able to fulfill my promises,
But you're part of his wishes,
Through all learned glitches,
Heart clutches;

You're my blessing,
His blessing,
You are, our blessing!
Through we were blessed!

Up to this point,
You'd have rolled a joint,
Pinned a certain point,
I assure you, he won't disappoint!

How is it, that I know?
How is it, that you'd know?
For now,
Take a breath, lay low...

Easy, easy, easy
I'd say when you use a scissor,
Our fixer!
Lay on a circled rock.
