Cradle To The Grave

by Beautiful Chaos   Nov 5, 2007


The moment you were born,
I knew I'd never be the same,
My life was just beginning,
A mother, I became.

Your smiling eyes were full of hope,
Faith emerged that day,
Showed me life was beautiful,
All would be okay.

A tiny child within my arms,
Forever I'd protect,
A piece of me from deep inside,
That time came to perfect.

It doesn't matter how you grow,
Or how old you come to be,
I'll always be there watching you,
This I guarantee.

Angry moments, bitter words,
Won't keep me from your side,
For surely when we've laughed in life,
At times we will have cried.

We won't agree on everything,
Rebellion is a need,
And even when you pull away,
My love will not recede.

There's nothing that I would not face,
Nothing I won't do,
From the cradle to the grave,
My heart will beat for you.

    This is the first piece of yours I've read that is written with loving and tenderness in mind, I've almost become used to reading poetry filled with darkness and dismay from you now.
    This shows a rather refershingly upbeat change in mood.
    As per usual it's immaculately written, filled with wonderful sentiment. Not quite as image filled as usual but still a thoroughly enjoyable read.

    Another great piece.
