Mother of stone

by katie!   Apr 20, 2006


You hold me in your arms when I am all alone
You keep me safe from dying when I can't cope at home
You give me friends and family when I am on my own
You keep me warm, you keep me safe my mother of stone

So many family members within your four great walls
A huge dysfunctional family that never crumbles or falls
You help me through the hard times when I feel so alone
You keep me warm, you keep me safe my mother of stone

But as in every perfect dream there is a nightmare
A terrible fright, a terrible scare
Because I have to be reborn and I don't want to be there
I don't want to face the real world, I don't want to have to care

They say you cannot hold me anymore within your womb
Though without you I feel so sure, I'd be cold within my tomb
You gave me love and care for 24 hours, Never leaving me alone
You keep me warm, you keep me safe my mother of stone

I'll miss you my dear mother, and all my siblings within
My friends and family who kept me away from sin
But you can't be there forever, I must be on my own
You can't keep me warm, you can't keep me safe my dear mother of stone..

    Wow! This is beautifully written Katie... The love you share with your friends/family at hospital is clearly and wonderfully conveyed. You don't need to lose touch with any of them, it's just your time to move on and carry on with your life outside hospital. A really enjoyable poem Kaite, though I didn't find it too sad, more hopeful... It shows you are ready to go forth. It's always sad to leave those you bond with. Superb write!
