A New Experience Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

A New Experience



A baby that once was inside my womb has grown a lot, he's now
sixteen, blond, tall, good looking, very responsible and clean.

Last night I brought him for a ride, stopped on a deserted
street, shut off the van and told him to trade places with me.

Yes, he has his driver's permit, and I let him take the wheel
for the first time on the street.

Being very careful, listening attentively, yet I can still
see he's extremely nervous, sweat pouring off his brow.

A new horizon has opened for him as his life begins to expand,
I'm so very proud of him, my son is growing into quite a man.

Admitting that as he drove down Central Avenue in traffic,
several times he caused my heart to slip up into my throat
for seconds of a minute.

But on the whole he was a very good driver, we did get home
in one piece and without a single accident.

Pride I feel for him is out in the open for everyone to see
and hear for I enjoy bragging about him to all I meet.

It's really wonderful to have such a beautiful baby and watch
him grow to manhood.

It is a blessing given especially to Mothers as they grow
older, for they do watch their children mature more often
than the Fathers.
