The Blood & The Bones

…for my birthday boy…

All that I am sits on the edge of your smile

Shines in the hope in your eyes

Perched on the tippy top of your little big heart

All of my torn and tattered bits

Blanketed by your light

For you are the innocence, the humanity

The brightest star, the adventure

I was never able to be

All wrapped up in a giggle and skipping feet

Dirty cheeks kissed and untied shoes

My mama voice saying

Come here and let me fix that for you

As you have unknowingly tied up

All of the loose strings within me

Being your Mama has made me

All of what I was not

And I am now whole, bright and luminous

Just a mother’s reflection of her son’s love and light

Mama loves you, MCD.
