What I Love Best
Mummy, am I beautiful ?Â
She asks one rainy day
A day I am full of bruisesÂ
My sad, dark inner play
I open my eyes to gaze
At her gentleness and grace
Caught off guard I amaze
At her troubled little face
She is more than beautifulÂ
A blessing and a curse
I am careful with her anxietyÂ
Important not to make it worseÂ
You are beautiful reading
As your lips mumble out a line
If you want to be prettyÂ
A search for knowledge will be fine
You are beautiful with animalsÂ
Rescuing a snail or a worm
Kindness is a beautyÂ
That doubles with each turn
You are beautiful in the garden
Your hands deep in turf
Pull the grass up around you
And find peace in the earth
You are beautiful when smilingÂ
Radiating light from your eyes
It’s so tough for a parent
To make sure the light never dies
How to explain life is full of shadows
And people often blind
I say what I love best of her
Hoping it brings peace of mind
