-----------------------------------------
It Crawls
Rolls
And Gently steps.
The tottering toddler
tries to follow
its mother's insistent claps.
-----------------------------------------
GROWTH
-----------------------------------------
He falls in the rough
He tumbles
He was told to stand up straight.
His mother sings
the songs of spring
His chilly fears abate.
-----------------------------------------
GROWTH
-----------------------------------------
A broken toy
A shifty glance
A shambling Hut of lies.
He pleads the fifth
Remorse is learnt
His Sin abruptly dies.
-----------------------------------------
DISCOVERY
-----------------------------------------
Her heart has overgrown the mind
Her hands were big in size.
Her mother wreathes
A song of love
Her doubt recedes
She cries.
-----------------------------------------
PRIDE
-----------------------------------------
Her arms grow strong
Her shoulders broad
She stands emboldened
In pride.
Just
Only to fall
From the piercing notes
From the songs
mother sings
by her side.
-------------------------------------
peace
-----------------------------------------
The child of a mother
Grows still_____she grows still
In the reverberating tune.
The source is silent
Yet its message will
Resound in the echoes
Fulfilled.
