Needed
Honey suckle
a liquid love
So raw, so pure, and whole
Find sweet nourishment
for your body, mind, and soul
Skin to skin
eye to eye,
know that I would give my life
This body bears the scars to prove
you grew within my heart and womb
Bees can’t make anything so sweet
as the tiny little toes on your feet
I’m a student of your very being
Unashamed love
I am guaranteeing
I hold you close
Breathe in deeply
I need you to need me
Created for each other
God made me your mother
Bittersweet
the Growing stages
filling the pages
of my life
Your words unformed
are towers of joy and grace
You memorize my face
as I’m mesmerized by yours
Divine addiction
to this pure romance
Pain killing medication
inhale your innocence
Rocking, dancing, swaying
an orchestra of hearts is playing
Singing in harmony
a living legacy
I hold you close
Breathe in deeply
I love that you need me
Created for each other
God made me your mother
Like Robin Hood
doing so much good
A welcomed thief
tenderly pillaging
time, body, sleep and thoughts
A treasure sought
and found
Worth every tear and pound
Each breath and beat
and your body heat
are stacks of evidence
that providence
freely gives
the highest valued gifts
I hold you close
breathe in deeply
I know you still need me
Created for eachother
God made me your mother
The world obsessed
in a high speed chase
I confess
You inspire me
to slow down the pace
To live simple,
love longer
to plant a garden
weed and water
and to feed souls that hunger
I hold you close
breathe in deeply,
I need you to need me
Created for each other
God made me your mother
And when you’re all grown
have a babe of your own
I’ll still sing this song
I hold you close
Breathe in deeply,
I need you to need me
Created for eachother
God made me your Grand-mother
I love it Aunti Omi!!!! You are such a good mama!
Absolutely precious! You sing the song of your mother unable to put in words my very soul thoughts. The love for your grown up children never diminishes but can be uncomfortable because they no longer need you.
(or so they think) I love you, my precious child! Thank you for my wonderful grandchildren who now bring me the same joy you continue to bring me.
Oh Naomi….I LOVE this…so beautifully expressed….a mother’s heart laid bare. Your creativity is inspiring:))
This was so sweet! Thank you v fit sharing!
