Over The Pond And Far Away Poem by victoria donnelly

There were days
I walked on my knees
crushed
by the weight of motherhood
and now too;
as my feet fight for firm footing
on a pavement
where I feel water
lapping at my jaws.
Here,
of joy and concern
I am,
a battle brimming
in the heart shudder
of this silent look,
our goodbye....
Paling, only
till I see you
as you are,
fledged
and
flying
living your dream.


''live life with a bold heart son,
as if life were too small to contain you''
