I just wrote a guest post for my blogger friend, Shirley at her Agape blog. For those of you interested in learning simple ways of cooking nutritious and tasty food, make sure you visit her ‘Enriching your kid’ blog. For now, here is the guest post. The complete post is available at her blog.
I lived in a time of fear whence,
My wisdom was in abeyance.
It is now I tread in absence of fear,
Wiser that He walks beside me here.
…
Bruised knees, hurt ego, teary eyes;
He sat still, wheels still spinning by.
Hurried feet rush to the sounds of cries,
Adorning affection and a concerned sigh.
Wisdom drops collect, assurance flows,
She worries herself, her image has bled.
Calm is her face, but anxiety shows,
Her clothes now bear wet dabs of red.
Calmer but hurting, his cries turn sobs,
She strokes his hair gently, wipes his tears,
He looks up with a love, that age oft robs.
She beams, he has faced the first of his fears.
Her fallen angel rises, limps on his feet,
Lips pursed; she walks by, feeling his pain,
He will be wary, but will not retreat,
Stronger, God forbid, if he falls again.
Her kind words will fade out one day,
His adult heart will let them through,
But if he falls from a failed belay,
He will dust off and rise anew.
…
With lots of love to Ma,
Thank you for the testing wisdom and fierce strength you have always provided through your gentle love.
Happy Mothers Day!
