A gift from above -
Pure love, just smiling and shining light
Where ever you go
I see the world through your eyes
No disguise
Just truth in a rainbow
You give without thought
An embrace is a river of joy that pours
over me like the waters of redemption
When you hurt
I search inside and out to bring you relief
And now, knowing that I can't always
Protect you from the world's darkness
I paint for you with words - your safe place
That place of sunshine and salty sea water
Of light-heartedness and laughter
Of rolling green hills under an African sky blue
A gated garden in paradise where you play
with your Angels
And dream of freedom...
I am your Mother and I thank you for choosing me.
Captive and mellifluously structured from onset to close-out...Your employment of pictorial imagescape in particular, Stanza 5, glaced this fine slice of free-verse with poetic resplendence ~FjR~
Pure love! ! With the mus eof the joy of the heart. Nice work.

I AM YOUR MOTHER AND THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ME. Wow! That is as beautiful a sentiment that a parent can express. What generosity of spirit you display in thanking your daughter for choosing you as her parent. Whether that notion is literally true or not, doesn't matter to me because it has poetic truth and it is expressed with simple sincerity. I suspect this poem expresses a love for Sophia which is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg of love beneath the surface. Sophia is blessed, you are blessed, the family you embody is blessed. Your poem celebrates life as it should be lived! !
A beautiful poem by a doting mum that captures the unadulterated love for a child, felt in inner recesses of the heart. A well articulated piece of poetry, subtly penned with conviction. A lovely one indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
after a love-song for Africa, a song of love for your child.. both beautifully penned, Lisa..
