they sneak up on me
these kisses
these soft round arms clasping my neck
lisped words of
i love you mama
or i want a snuggle
or i'm thankful for you mama
and i melt
it's a hard road sometimes
when mothering seems more than i can bear
when the beginning and what followed
scarred parts of my parenting heart
but when they laugh
and when they sing
and when they dance
and when they sneak their way
past all my defenses
all i can do is look at them
and say
thank you
thank you
and that is enough
5 bits of love:
Ah bless!
You put the words so beautifully. Happy Thanksgiving luvie.xx
Totally totally agree.
Beautiful poem. I too have much to be grateful for in my 2 boys.
Happy Thanksgiving.
That was a beautifully touching poem. It really expresses a true sense of gratitude.
They worm their way in...
Glad it was a good Thanksgiving!
(my word verification is: singing)
Loved it! I totally agree.
