Topic: Mother and Son. [ Empty Nest Syndrome ]

Bear with me with this piece.   My son is moving on soon [ Boohoo]  Yeah right ! lol no washing lol ironing lol picking up:lol: Ah, but ill miss his company. especially the late night chats when he'd come home and plonk himself on my bed for a natter. On a positive side, i now have another place to go visit and fish.

Mother and Son.

No masquerade   from the start
My joy was real you stole my heart
I stroked your skin, you felt so new
So much to learn, try all things new.

Talkative and loving you always were
“Sunshine boy your teachers  said"
Frustrating,  your dyslexic mind
Calculus, I smiled,  it boggled mine

We got through, we loved to fish,
We liked to cook, make silly wishes
I watched you grow from boy to man
Your hormones raged, while I stayed calm.

She was gifted and pretty played her guitar
You loved her, I knew, right from the start
Your cries and your tears near tore me apart
So sudden, a car crash, stole your sweet heart

Your  life  felt broken  that dreadful day
New house, new life, all cast away
Dreams now shattered, life seemed to spin
Hot summers day, dark winter sets in.


Be of good faith son, your life will unfold.
Life changes direction, as will our souls
A mother son friendship its simplicity
Will abide, until all your sorrows break free.

Time orchestrated with sweet harmony
A new girl, a new life, prayers answered for me.
Another new house, your both   “joie de vivre
She is my petal, your darling, blessings on thee.

Our journeys was swift, the changes have come
Your birth a miracle, second to none
Once started from seed, your life had begun
For a mother and baby, my precious wee son.

Thank you for reading.
Ps . He [ my son ] functions very well in life with dyslexia.

I agree.....magic, Silver

I thought ; If I had one idea,
and took it from beginning to end.
I would try another.

What a wonderful poem Helena. It is strange how mere words can stir one's emotions and you have the gift of being able to do that so well. Tragedy, sorrow, joy and love all included, terrific work.

I really enjoyed that poem.  Now we have to set it to music and you'll have a hit.  These are the stories that grab your heart and stay there.  Good one, Old Doll

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Superb writing Dolly, really stirring stuff.
You say that your weather is a bit miz right now, pop over to us for a while, summer has finally arrived after a very wild and woolly winter, today is a nice warm 28 degrees. Tomorrow will be 29 degrees.

Re: Mother and Son. [ Empty Nest Syndrome ]

hi helena,

i'm back from holiday so i'm playing catch-up. i hope your well?

i had to read this twice, so sad, so sweet. i must say that your life seems so full of tragedy, i pray to the lord that from now on your load will become lighter and your life sweeter.

as for an empty nest, if your young lad is anything like my kids...you'll never get completely free of them. it's just me and the wife now but the kids are round every day, so the kettle is always on the boil...so if your in the neighbourhood, drop in.

lovely poem, touching and loving and with hope for the future.
