The 'ME' My Children See
by Mary -BrytEyz- Ball (Age: 38)
copyright 06-01-2001


Age Rating: 1 to 127

 
I love the "ME" my children see,
I love the things they don't.
I love the reality they accept,
and the things they won't.

He looks at Nagel and exclaims
he sees his mother there;
He looks at beauty and sees me
whether she's clothed or bare.

My son's so pure and innocent,
my son's a song in the flesh.
my son's a merging mixture
of naive curiosity enmeshed.

I think I'll look at the world
thru the eyes of my children;
I think that's how I'll prove to be
more prudent than wise men.

I'll love life like a child does,
I'll love people unbridled.
I'll love me like he loves me, and
spend time carefree and idle.

Good work! Although I can't relate to this in the slightest, I enjoyed this poem. However, I do suggest you capitalize each line... The sentiments and ideas in this piece is good, and your choice of words paints a picture in my mind. Your comparisons also made this piece flow better. Kinda funny that you, PnP's seventh author, are getting comments from PnP's 2,579th author, eh? Your works always seem to stay popular too, now that's talent! Good work, keep writing!

P.S. Does it ever bother you that "PnP" with that capitalization-formation isn't in the Spell Checker...? ...And that all PnP's authors are so picky with praise?

Except ye become as little children............

they see the unvarnished truth

without the dust of prejudice and bias

sprinkled in their eyes.

Another great job,

Rich

What would we ever have done without kids? I know our lives would have been missing so much. My kids are married now, but we are still close. I enjoyed this write.

Mary, what a beautiful poem..if only each of us could continue to see through the eyes of a loving child, the world would be more than beautiful.

The poem sounds too good to be true. It's difficult to go back once you've lost your innocence. Although I would love to. Thanks for sharing.

Even before having children of my own to make me feel like a million dollars, I have always told my mother how wonderful I see her. I can see the disbelief at times in her eyes, and definitely the disagreement... but I always see that flicker of glee in her eyes that it brings to her. :) She's great. And it feels wonderful to know my kids see me that way as well. (Boy, do they have a lot to learn... hahahaha)

Thanks for reading. I love reading your comments. :)

Beautiful poem. To capture the innocence of a child. To write of the love between mother and son. Wonderful.

Thank you for sharing this poem. I also love the "me" my children see. My daughter is now 18 years old, and she says the most amazing things to me about what she appreciates in me and how thankful she is for who I am and what I do. Whenever I feel like I have failed, I only need to see myself the way she sees me, and I feel wonderful again.
