PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The day my baby was put in my arms

My deepest desire was to keep him from harm

I wanted to stop others from showing my child

The ways of the world and how it runs wild



But as he grew older, he needed to go out

And see what the world was all about

But as each school grade he progressed

I saw my relationship with him digress



Now he is almost a grown man

And he is changing my life long plan

Of keeping him close to my home

For now he is exploring life and I am alone



I have lost my baby to the worldly ways

And my heart aches for those lost days

When he was placed in my arms

And I was able to keep him safe and warm
