Chapter 2. working with words!
3. Birth, Love, Joy, Protect, Prayer, Support, Bless
At birth, you held me with love.
I was just brought out to the world, trying to grab the first scent of it
I cannot imagine your thoughts and feelings
Have I brought joy to you? I did not know anything.
Your care turned me into a boy with a bit of sense,
I roamed around the backyard like a king, under your protection.
I was young and fearless.
You watched me through the time of storm and gale with your prayer
you were always there for me like a tree on top of the mountain.
With your support and trust I became a man.
I wouldn’t have found who I am and come to my full senses if it wasn’t for you.
And now
with your blessing, I will be a husband with responsibilities.
I won’t be under your care and protection anymore
but I know that I will always be with
your prayer.

I could have came up with much more words associated with my mother but it would be too hard
to write a good poem with all those words, so I just used seven words to write this poem.
