My heroes, my future

Contributed by Knight_Frankenstein on Thursday, 11th July 2013 @ 03:22:49 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

This new life
This new responsibility
This dependency
This is important
Better have it together

So small and fragile
Woman now turned Mother
Man now turned Father
They don't have it together
They don't even know who they are

Still fragile but not as small
My world on their shoulders
My lessons from their voices
Their lessons come like an echo
Hiding their scars and their pain
The heroes never hurt

Look how much you've grown
They see it too
Your world is growing
It is heavy on their shoulders
You are starting to see it
Too tired to cover their scars

You're almost big enough to reach your world
Anxious enough to want to carry it
Not knowing how heavy it is
They know it's weight
They don't let you carry it

You're fingertips away
but you look at them
Look at how tired they are
Carrying your world
You start to understand the weight

It finally happened
You are carrying your world
It's weight almost crushing you
You finally understand
They haven't let go, not yet

It's time for you to carry your own world
As they slowly let go
You feel the full weight
You feel how strong they are
How they never let it crush you

So amazing this truth that you tell. In the words so many parents search for, but so few can find. You tell the tale of life within your story strong. So close to the sun, with feet on the ground. I really enjoyed this, and am thankful for your insight. Great write, P

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
