PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I made the earth in seven days…

Everything in it I created.

Nothing on this earth goes

unknown to me.

I built the monuments of the world.

I invented technology.

but even in my busy schedule…

I TRUSTED YOU.

A small life I placed inside you.

For nine months,

I allowed you to hold on to

something that was more precious

to Me, than it could ever be to you.

I TRUSTED YOU.

I gave birth to that small life through you.

I allowed you to hold him in your arms

and breath the same air he breaths.

Why?  Because I TRUSTED YOU.

I allow you to watch him grow

and it was Me, who let you cry

when he first called you Ma Ma.

I TRUSTED YOU.

I continue to trust that you won't

abandon him, lie to him, abuse him,

use him, or forget him.

I continue to trust that you will

hold him, kiss him, teach him,

nourish him, respect him and love him.

Trust in Me that I will always

provide for him and for you.

I smile, because of the mother

you have become.

Now trust in me, as I HAVE TRUSTED YOU.
