May 8, 2011 Love’s Gifts – @onestoppoetry – Mother’s Day
It is time now you said
Are you so sure I asked
I am not yet so mature
Nor am I quite rich here
If we waited for all that
Our kids would never be
No phallic barrier walls
After stopping our magic pills
We make love with abandon
For kids are best love stirred
We laugh at odd beliefs heard
The passionate picks the sex
The first is scary gray
I follow her away
As they close your tummy
Now Lauren she is pink
We make love on a trip
For their wedding day joy
It becomes another funny
As your big tummy grows
The day comes on again
My small birthday present
As they close your tummy
Little Amanda cries hard
We raise both of them right
We raise both of them well
We send them off to learn
We know they taught us first
Our once love has changed
Our partnership is over
Our loves remain in life
Our children always loved
Happy Mother’s Day.

Its true, our children teach us so much as we endeavour to teach them. When they fly the nest, a hole appears, but I am thankful that now we have Tinks to fill that void.

very personal, very intimate, you shared a “real” journey of loving, having babies and seeing them off into the world… I smile…

This covers much ground and is very moving– I like the inclusion of detail and avoiding of cliches about love and mothering. xxxj

Nothing/no one makes us want to become better human beings than our kids. Loved how intensely personal your poem is and how wonderful it is that you paid a tribute to the mother of your two lovely daughters.

Very moving. So nice that you could still remember the loving moments that led to the conception and birth of your children, even after that relationship has ended.
