Yesterday I saw a mother holding her baby a bit awkward, struggling to get a better hold of her baby, there was no seat around, I thought she was tired. I stopped and praised the beauty of her child and she gave me the baby to hold. I kept the beautiful baby for a few minutes and expressed my gratitude and pleasure, and the baby laughed. When I left, the mother and the baby were all smiles, but guess who kept the biggest one, for hours and even now as I remember it? [Laughs] Probably me. And if you can forgive this long space and the time I take, please allow me to share my new poem:
Mother and child
Caress me mother,
Touch me!
Just give me one finger
Won't demand your hand!
-Sweet dear child,
Don't you really know?
Nothing can stop
The primal love of mothers
To you I dedicate my life, entire
Eternally you'll have me
In flesh and bones for now,
(and late, when all transforms
you'll feel me with the soul)
Come, stretch your hand
And I, whole hearted,
Will hug you with both arms
Forever I shall love you
My sweet and dear child.
.. Thoughts of a daughter, for her daughter, all while trying to cope with moments of letting go. .
