I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BY K J ( POETRY)/ Love Letters To Our Children

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BY K J ( POETRY)

I know my arm is strong
the landscape of it’s breadth has held new life
has cradled the sweetest innocence
and protected a beating heart
I know my arm is strong
the same arm,
clenched tight by an angry fist,
is still strong

My voice is still here
the power of my words to heal and sooth
the joy of song and treasured talk
the chosen silence and the answers
no matter how heavy the hand
to bring down my voice,
my voice is still here

The heart
no words can tell
written, spoken, heard,
how you are my heart
my dearest child
that the deepest well within my being
holds your light and memory
always,
always,
and no man
no woman
no power, being, or force
shall take you from me
shall shake my grasp
of hope
that i will be your mother
that you are my child
and I will always love you.

Mommy Loves You More than I can Say, Mijo by Endurovet (Poetry)/ Love Letters To Our Children

My heart hiccuped

as I gently opened your bedroom door

& beheld you sleeping

in the same position I had left you in 4 hrs ago…

Were you alright?

Just sleeping soundly,

finally “like a teenager”

even as I puzzled over how you COULD sleep

with the vacuum running downstairs…

I admired your long lean limbs,

the full curve of your sweet lips gently parted,

your tousled hair.

You took my hand & squeezed it

for a long tender moment

as you stretched into consciousness –

that meant the world to me.

I now understand those Victorian poets,

waxing rhapsodic about the merest touch,

feasting my eyes upon you on this,

our last day together for a while.

Mommy loves you more than I can say, mijo.
