You Are My Poem

 

 ...from a mother to her daughters.

This poem does NOT exclude sons:)

You are my poem

Of laughter and longing

Of having and holding

And slow letting go

You are my poem of

Learning and teaching

Of bowing and reaching

Of lingering…oh!

You are my poem of

Hunger and hurting

And heart overflowing

With more-than-enough

You are my poem

Of precious existence

Wrapped up in one 

little 

word 

called

Love
