Cherished

A poem from the short collection: From Seed To Soil.

Where once nothing was –
The light awakes.

From love, misfortune, hate or hope,
A soul is born,
And all then stops.

Though all around is tinged with fear,
My child, my child, my love is true.
It’s cherished with a mothers kiss,
My child, my child, my love is you.
Your journey will be filled with tears,
My child, my child, I’ll hold you safe,
And hope the paths he walks are blessed.
My child, my child, you’re now my life.

So pray to one that doth exist,
Or pray to one you feel engrossed.
As life presents you with this test –
Pray for the one you love the most.
