Motherly Love

 

the-hands-2.jpg

The following poem was inspired in the above painting named “Hand in Hand” by Miki, a great artist whose works of art I love. I don’t have children of my own but this is what I’d like to tell them if I had:

 

 

Motherly Love


I’m holding your hand

So small in my palm

Don’t you cry my child

I will be always

By your side

 

I’m holding your hand

So sweet to touch

As harmless as you are

I will protect you

No matter what

Who could love you

More than I

 

I will hold your hand

Throughout the years

From now

I’ll teach you how to walk

Don’t you worry

I won’t let you fall.

 

Holding your hand

I see myself in your eyes

Oh baby

Don’t you cry

For you will be always

In my heart.

  1. Hola Mary!
    What a wonderful surprise it was for me to find your entry, your so touching poem below my painting! You know how much I like the pureness, sincerity and “genuinity” ( guess the word doesn´t exist, but I MUST create it for you!) of your poetry and prose… To have inspired you to a new poem is a big honour!
    I don´t have children myself, but if I had I would read your poem to them, and I guess it would be all what they need to be told about my love for them…
    Gracias del fondo de mi corrazón!
    I will make a new entry in my Painter´s Pointer, and of course warmly recommand “your warm nest” to my readers…
