Popular Poems About Motherhood

Our home was quiet since her father left four years before.
A single bare yellow light bulb lit the porch
Where my little girl fell into the arms of a boy
As I had done years before, caught in the spell of a first love.

Weeks later, I stood outside her bedroom door,
A stoic sentinel holding thoughts of my first time.  
While listening to her laughter echo against the
walls of her modest room, I felt the sting of tears.  

The years had flown past me like the gentle weep of willows.
Memories stirred my own youthful giggles, long...

I cannot live without you;
there would not be enough left of me to function.
But as your nemesis takes you from me, piece by piece,
I cannot live with you.
