MOTHERS SPECIAL BEAUTY
By
Ray Finch
The darkness now starting to turn grey as the light slowly filters in
Like a window blind opening and letting in the daylight
My eyes adjusting as the grey becomes clearer
Then Suddenly I can see and the sight before me is one of unbridled loveliness
That will be etched inside my memory forever
My first sight of BEAUTY my Mother
Would I ever see a enigmatic sight again
Yes the first time I laid eyes on you I was captivated
So lost for words so tongue tied and dumbstruck to utter anything sensible
My heart pounding then you smiled and your BEAUTY captured me
We dated we married we had our beautiful children
I remember as I looked down at our first born, a Son
I was too immature to realise what a gift you had bestowed on me
The BEAUTY of this small child that I held in my hands
And the man he would one day become
Then our second child was born, a Daughter
Once again so small and perfect in every way
Another BEAUTY that to this day I still marvel at her
And how she’s become so strong and independent
As I\'m sure any parent can relate, I\'ve had my share of heartache and worries from them
I still do roll my eyes in surprise when they decide they know better than me
But as they make their own way in life with every beat of my heart I love them more each day
And could not be prouder of my beautiful children
So my Mother, thank you for nurturing me and allowing me to grow inside of you
So that I could experience my 4 moments of SPECIAL BEAUTY
Which I’m sure will be the final images that flash before me
When It’s finally time for me to come and see you again
