    This ones for my son who I hope and pray gets past this with no problems.

    NOT MY CHILD

    From the moment;

    They first put you in my arms.

    I vowed to try and always;

    Keep you from harm.

    From  your first word; your first step,

    I was there.

    You were so daring.

    At times you gave me a scare.

    As a child I kissed your boo boos

    I helped you through;

    I was there when;

    You struggled through school.

    I was there again;

    When a girl left you with heartbreak.

    But, some things a mother;

    Can’t take…

    Away

    It started out just an innocent looking mark,

    Upon your skin.

    But that was just where

    It would begin.

    With a diagnoses

    To make my heartbeat go wild.

    I can only pray to God;

     Please; Not my child.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
