Words for MOM

PART 3:

Time passed steadily and drew us apart.

I was unwilling.

I feared if I let you go

You would leave me eternally.

You smiled at my fears, saying

I could not stay in your lap forever

Part 4:

That one day you would have to stand

And where would I be?

You smiled again.

I did not.

Without warning you left me,

But you returned immediately.

You left again and returned,

I admit, quickly,
But relief did not rest with me easily.
You left again, but again returned.
Each time you reentered my world
You bought assurance.
Slowly I gained confidence.

xoxo,

Ronita
