A Mother’s Love (For Corwyn Bailey)

A Mother’s Love (For Corwyn Bailey)

 

By John Kaniecki

 

Blessings like petals on an infinite flower

Hour after dedicated hour

Nine months or so in the womb

Holding my hand through a child’s gloom

Momma you were family

The all in all to me

The all in all for me

Three years past I let go of your hand

God made His firm demand

And off you were to Beulah Land

 

I wonder if your robe is white

Or dark as your sacred skin

I know in the untouchable light

We can begin

To love, and forgive

To finally live how life was meant to be


With dignity and honesty

Momma that’s what you taught me

And so much more

 

A mother’s love who could comprehend?

It has no beginning it has no end


The circle in time is the perfect rhyme

I hear the church bells chime

They lowered you in the ground

And I found

Misty, soft, tears of regret

As if we never met

But Momma

I feel your gentle touch

I hear the whispers in my ear

Though only the Wind is near

 

A mother’s love

So much to say

A mother’s love

I embrace it today

In every way 


POLISHED FRAGMENTS

Poet To The Poor
