Mother's Poem by Elizabeth Fontaine Grieco

Mother's



We must stand tall in times of adversity
Fight for the rights of our children,
Love them through their failures
Bring our hearts close to theirs,
Walk in their shadows,
to find we are so much alike.

Let us not forget, they are children of
God with so much love to give.
Only if mother's learn to forgive and
Nuture that love, so they may live
Without fear of redeeming themselves,
To the world.

Mother's need love and security
Along with respect and dignity.
Society must do it's share to help
Mother's learn to teach children well.

Remember to serve our mother's of today,
So they may help their children grow
And flourish into a Bed of Roses and
Not a bush of Poison Ivy.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Written December 15,1995 eating pizza with my children and entering a poetry contest. My first poem written in fifteen years. I didn't know I was a poet until I received awards for this poem. Reading the great master's and my favorite poet, Percy Shelley Busche in the library, I realized, that writing poetry comes naturally to me! Finally, I found my place among other poets! Thank-you Lord!
