'Mum'

ShannonXx

Mum

Thats what you are to me 

You listen 

Advise

Compromise  

Sacrifice everything in your life 

Your intelligent 

With an aura of sophistication 

Use words like armour 

Protect me with your shield 

Keep me loved through each fear

You light up my world

A sparkle in your eye 

Jewels in your heart 

Hold my hand through every tumble and turn 

Dedicate yourself 

To all my needs 

Cuddle me 

Make my struggles unseen 

At my side through the day 

But only in my thoughts at night 

Miles away 

It makes me feel unsafe

Not knowing how you are 

My demons overtake 

Constant worries take place 

I want you here right now 

Forever to stay

To tell me stories 

Let me fall into your arms

Tired with a yawn 

Mum 

Thats what you are to me 

But this is not the way it seems

You are not my mum

You will never be 

For this moment 

I can only dream

    Thanks for this POEM Shannon ~ and thanks for the explanation you have given to DS ! I'm in my 30's and my Mum still treats me like I'm still a Baby ! The fact that you had to rely on Surrogate and Fantasy Mums ~ makes me sad and it explains some of the angst in some of your poems. I have promised to pray for you (you know I am a Christian) and my Sunday Poems are written for you and and all my MPS Friends. Love your poems Shannon because they are very honest and in each one your share a bit more of your "soul" with us ! HUGS BRIAN XX

            Beautifully said Shandon . I rarely say anything about spelling , mainly because I haven't learned English yet , but two critical words in my opinion disrupt the flow of the poem because of the spelling . Comprimisee should be compromise and ore should be aura . But after getting over that I very much enjoyed the warmth and appreciation you give us in your poem .
