My eyes follow him up the street,
our first baby has a bus to meet.
I warn him of cars and strangers,
praying he'll avoid all danger.
our first baby has a bus to meet.
I warn him of cars and strangers,
praying he'll avoid all danger.
Into the school bus see him go,
it drives away and I'm feeling woe.
For my baby is no longer mine,
his life is his, for the rest of time.
From Motherhood, a book of poems.

Post a CommentThat young boy who I wrote this poem about, is returning today from his honeymoon. Tomorrow will be his 29th Birthday. Wasn't it just yesterday?
