Motherly Love
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.

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…
