Mom's Poetry

I've been going through some of Mom's old poetry she wrote in High School and College, and decided to post a few of them. :)

-You My Child-

You, my child,

Are yet unborn,

Still only thought of and dreamed over.

Thought still unconceived

I can see you in my mind.

You, my child, are

A fulfillment of a promise.

A promise made in love and happiness.

You have an enormous task to complete,

But I know you can finish

Because you are the echo of me.

You, my child, and God together…

One with the other and in the other

He will guide

And protect you from

Any harm that might reach from the shadows.

My baby, you are the completion of a friendship,

 So even now I might tell you,

 I love you,

And I trust you with my promise

all origional

-Untitled-

I want to write a song

And make everything alright.

A song of love and happiness

That would chase away the night.

I want to write a song and

Tell you that I care.

A song filled with gentleness

Soft as flowing air.

I want to write a song

That will erase the past.

A song that can’t be forgotten

Because it seems to last and last.

I want to write a song

And change what soon must be.

A song that doesn’t say goodbye,

And admits that you are free.

But I can’t write a song,

That wasn’t meant to play,

Or change the future

Because I don’t like today
