HEARTS JEWELS

Did I get it right, child
All of it
Some of it
Any of it
None of it
Maybe just a little bit?

Did I make a difference
Child
Guide you right
Encourage you
Help you growΒ 
Straight and true
Towards the light?

Was I by your side, child
When you needed me
To care

Be wise
Be there
To comfort you

Recognise
The need in you
Did
Β I offer strength
Enough
To see you through?Β 

​​​​​Was I always aware, child
Of your troubles
Your hearts desires
Your woes
Your joys
Or
Did I chide you
Too much
For noise
For mess
For broken toys?

Did I give you time, child
Did I work too much
Trouble too much
Did care make me highly strung
Did I forget the power of
Hugs
Soft words from gentle tongue?

Did I help you learn, child
Teach youΒ 
Right from wrong
Warn you of life's
Moaning wails
But the beauty
Also
Of lifes song?

And were you always
Certain
My child
Without doubt
From the start
That I was captive
That I loved you
ThatΒ 
YouΒ 
Were the crowning jewel
Of my heart?

For I know, my child
It is my lifeΒ 
You've been dragged through
No other optionΒ 
Choice
For you

And though sometimes blessed
And often good
It was also oftenΒ 
A sorry mess

But you're grown now, child
And I'm laid
Bare
And in your memories
Of childhood
As mother
How did I fare
Will you crown me
Child
Or frown on me?

For I worry, child
That I failed somehow
That I got it wrong
That I let you down
And here now
As time draws near
These
My child
Are my greatest fears

So I hope now, child
That when we part
You will find enough
Only
To say
She was my mother
She loved me
She did her best
And her memory now
I will keep
Forever
As a jewelΒ 
In myΒ 
Heart.

My two are also fabulous people Tina...but it goes so quickly doesn't it? Washed away in the everyday and I so miss my time as full time mam..wish I could have it all back and enjoy  every single moment again....with a script this time written by a really wise person...lol. I think so long as kids are secure and loved that's the best we can do. Thanks for your comments ❀️

I think now
I might have kept a thing
Your green eye in a glass case

a hand or a foot...
