A Poem by ROXANE DORSEY

todays child

the first day you entered this world                                                                                     
my eyes looked you over                                                                                                     
my first thought in mind was who is this child                                                                 
what kind of life will it lead must i see                                                                              
be it good or bad you are apart of me                                                                                
you are open for suggestion but will you take head                                                         
i promise protection trust me you'll see                                                                             
hands off or its defending i must do cause your life is my 
responsibility                    no other understands our 
bond                                                                                           yes its quit different and 
unique                                                                                         God gave you to me for 
just a little while                                                                            i must take care of you 
the best way i know how                                                             it's not your father or 
another but your mother  who is talking to you                            baby hear my voice 
through and through                                                                          let it be a recording 
and my voice you'll never forget                                                              while on this earth 
we'll have a bond a tight and true one                                              that started while 
you were in my womb                                                                            love love love you 
baby all your tender bones fingers and toes                                     I see you off to 
the first day of school and be there when you graduate                      from the last 
day if you choose                                                                                             don't be a 
fool after all that is not what i intended for my little spool.

love poetry since it has been embedded in my mind deeply way back when I was 4 years old. A very good reader in pre-school. Nursery rhymes tuned me in even deeper. more..
