About the Poem
This poem is for my mother. She gave me life, she gave me all my talents and yet she would still give me all she had (should I ask it of her). She makes me feel as if I could take on the world, yet always with the same compassion she shows me - how to respect the world, care for it and love it.
Thus I wrote her a poem for it was the nearest I could come to express my feelings for her.
Mother |
| by Cobrakede |
| Caring love cold as an shower, never before and never after, shall one as you love me again. You cradle me at youth, protect me as I mature, scold me in contempt and yet - always in love. If not for you . . . . . . I would not care, If not for you . . . . . . I would not live, If not for you . . . . . . I would not love. Hold me as I go into the world, do not protect me, only guide me, for I am mans' and womans' child, bold an foolish, yet as always it shall be - unknowing. Forsake me not, for with me pride was born, good and evil I can do - that all mankind can do, but that what I've been taught- not all mankind can do . . . . . . care. |
