Relative Confessions Part 5
Mom role turned out fine
Beginning,
when you came to me as mine
That is not how it always felt
Until, burritto wrap you
made my innards, crumble
into cheese, drip a melt
I obsessed, please God
Make him
be born blessed
Innocent toes five
Octave cries high
Music, prayers, chatter
to the womb,intended
for you in bloom
Then
Intimidation,a need to weep
Set in,you shrugged all sleep
Hysteria,of a parallel world
like a merry go round
visitations,wine,gripe water
together swirled
Soon
You grew up
paced faster than I knew
new sights,friends
with much elan,drew
Kite like,new expanses
explored, your equilibrium
with the world, worked
to choreograph,your dances
Success is perspective,yours
and mine,will differ
I proudly,stand a tall tower
You demonstrate,a barometer
for moments that matter
will last forever
Your camera lens, prescribes
focus, and will always
define you,your path lines
Your calm affinity
with those who matter
allows you,to distill
the clutter
Refined
I made it thus far,fairly fine
son, you polish my shine
My cue cards,help books
pile up in a nook
Excruciating discipline,will take
to not outreach,at each step
You coach me,with your manner
and comforting energy
I grow with you
worry,by nature
confident,by stature
watching,as you
forge ahead
onward and forward
