Trust

Nursery

Trust

 

These toddlers endue me full trust

When they cling to me as if their mum

Never hesitate or fear a drop or thrust

What if I let go or reject them

What if I cut off my love abrupt

Or unexpectedly my anger erupt

They do not test me before hanging out

How could they be so sure without doubt

Of my love, and their loveliness

Of a world of confidence and happiness

 

How soon they would hear Timber Wolf sinister

And malice of adopted mother and step sister

And learn that embracing arms may inflict harms

And indulgence may give way to negligence

and intelligence may take away their innocence

    Your words can describe the strength and vulnerability of our bond to others: as is the toddler’s bond to her mother. This poem also seems to live in the mother’s own childhood struggles. Keep writing about this most essential topic. Thank you dear Poet.
