I Called You My Child

Folder: 
Folder-2003







On the date,

I was departing this life

You were born

I gave birth to this "SUN"

Your cry brought me back alive

Brighten my day

I called you my child

Hid your birth

Out of sight

Inside my vein

Held your soul

So many times

Never held you

Once in my arm

Waves of my soul

Embraced your sun

I called you my child

Could not conceptualize

Any other name

For the ache

That is the same



~*~



I called you my child

For the struggles

To preserve my pride

I called my child

For failing to leave you behind

Abandoning you inside

Again and again

Your Love I retain

Missing my own train

Stopping my plane

Bringing the cloud of rain

To ease your pain



~*~



I called you my child

Could not move on with life

Without stopping and wondering

With questions burning within

How you became all the past

That lead to this present



~*~



I called you my child

Bcause you know

In your heart

What it’s all about



~*~



I called you my child

Because you are

My favorite father’s child

And I am

Your father’s favorite child

I called you my child

Every time I turn my back

I hear your cry

He brings you to my dreams

Reaching out to hold my hand

I called you my child

The most honest feeling to be



~*~



I called you my child

A permission to Love you forever

I called you my child

Your cry I feel in my heart

Your ache I carry inside

I called you my child

For your safety I fear

I called my child

For the prayer said

To protect your path

Guard your future

I called you my child

Blocking any way

To alter this love

For my father and his child

For no matter what they say

For no matter what you do

Now and for ever you will be

In my heart

Bcause I know deep inside

You’re forgiven anyway



~*~



I spoke to the moon at night

Asking him, is my child alright?

Why I am missing

Always that part

I thought it was

Buried deep in the ground

Bearing him was

Ever the hardest part

Why I am sitting here

Forever waiting

For something to hear

You’re so innocent

From this love, my dear,

This guilt you must not bear

You’re not to be blamed

For the mother ache

Nor you need to stop

Catching your train

I love you anyway

My dearest child



~*~



If you were asked

Obliged to clear

Just tell them, my dear,

It was only a mother

Going restless

Forgetting herself

With her overprotecting

Sixth sense
