December 11, 1956
At long last, today is the day you are born
A Mother with newborn boy in mid-December early morn
The twinkle that shines from her eyes so blue
Is matched only by the love in her heart for you
She will capture this moment in her heart
Nine months ago, this bond of love did start
She gave you your name out of love
Your Mother’s heart you’ll always be part of
Look upon her face and eyes of blue
For in your mirror, she’ll always look back at you
Your time together for now must end
Love from Heaven, to you she’ll always send
Many a tear for many a year on you she’ll cry
But only when alone, the tears she can’t hide
Fear not one so young
The love song you both know will not go unsung
Though you may shed your own share of tears
And have troubled times through the years
Your Mother loves you still
So much love for you, your heart she’ll fill
Wish I could show to you the way
Insure to you, a brighter day
For I know the pain that will come to be
Same as you, she’s always loved me
I am your future, and you my past
Our Mother’s love will always last
All I can say is someday we’ll be as one
Fear not, one so young

- Comment from author about the poem: From Sax – “So my challenge to you is to write a response to your younger self.....” From Accidental Poet – “Challenge accepted Sax, I like the idea.” I actually wrote this many years ago when I first began to write poetry. It was these emotions I was going through that awoke my poetic Muse, and I’ve been grateful ever since.

'Fear not one so young

A wonderful read, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for reading and your compliment.
A great idea to write to a young self and your pen sorted the moments you cannot forget so aptly A.P. - - a wonderful read and the line I found most enchanting was "The love song you both know will not go unsung" - - thank you for meeting the challenge so well.
Thanks Fay. Yes, I'm glad Sax made the challenge, it was a great idea. And ironically I had written this one many years ago. 😊
Good write AP.
Erm, I forgot when I was young. Well, it was before 1066! heehee.
