Poem: Speak Soft, Sweet Words

Mother's Day 2011

Speak Soft, Sweet Words

Birthing,

Bathing,

Loving,

Speaking soft, sweet words,

Baby talk,

Talking child,

Questions asked,

Answers weighed,

Lessons learned

Along the way,

By you,

By me,

When you were young,

I was wise

In your eyes,

Now wisdom is yours

As well,

Be kind,

Be true,

Listen well,

Ask questions,

Weigh answers,

Speak soft, sweet words,

Live fully,
Love wholly,
My son.
