To My Mummy
by Michael SmithTo my one and only Mummy,
whom let me grow in her tummy,
though my body hast set sail,
my love for you will never fail.
My soul is ever entertwined with yours;
our love is spread across the shores.
Our footprints together left in the sand;
we travel each our journeys hand in hand.
Dearest Mum, I know my thought will never leave you.
When you miss me, know I miss you too.
You make me so proud Mum, you do so much,
though Dad may not always recognise it as such.
Both you and I know what we endure,
to make our hearts whole, to make us pure.
My dear Mum, you need not ever despair;
look within your heart and I am there. 05/11/2008 Author's Note:
In loving memory of my first born son.

I cannot tell if the child was born and grew to adulthood or was lost before birth. The memory is poignant and the bond between mother and son is described so well. Thank you. |
