Some of daughter's poetry

WINGS

I watch as she struggles with finding her wings

the search sometimes painful to see

All I can do is to Pray and Thank God

for the brief time He Lent her to me

I remember the baby that brought pain; but such Joy

the young child so happy and care free

Now a Beautiful Young Lady has taken their place

and it seems quite amazing to me

Despite all my problems and failures in life

she is Strong and Loving and Kind

There's tme I see doubts and fear in her eyes

but her faith in God soon eases her mind

She still needs me sometimes, and I'm grateful to God

for those moments are precious and few

I Pray that He Leads me and gives me the Strength

to do what she needs me to do

She needs me to show her the Jesus I know

in all that I do everyday

And then to be willing to Give her to Him

so that He may show her His way

It's hard not to fight it and stay in Control

her life is so Fragile and life Tough

But I realize that God is the one who Helped me

so I give in Knowing He is enough

With His Love and Guidance the day will soon come

when she will be ready to Fly

No longer will she be just My Little Girl

she'll have wings that she's ready to try

And Try them she will, with God by her Side

to teach her and show her the way

I feel blessed to have had a Part in this Process

Thank you God is all I can say

A MOTHERS' SON

The Angels smiled when he was born

Which seems like yesterday

And I could sense them smiling still

As I looked at him today

I saw a man in his blue eyes

Not the child so timid and shy

That would hold my hand when he was scared

And not be afraid to cry

I closed my eyes and listened awhile

To his voice so low and deep

I remembered his younger childish voice

How it rose when he laughed and squeaked

I caught his scent as he walked by

Of football, sweat and cologne

And I longed for smells of my baby boy

Or the Child on my lap all alone

For awhile I allowed all my senses and thoughts

To remain in the past with my son

But I soon realized I was missing today

And the chance to spend time one on one

As I looked again at the man in his eyes

I was so proud of what was there

He may not believe that, but I pray that he knows

How much I Love him and how deeply I care

He still has a lot more growing before

He's the man God designed him to be

But he's on his way and I want to thank God

For the time that He lent him to me
