Poetry Thursday- YOU
This was a gift of words framed with a hand drawn angel, given to me by my daughter Michelle, as she was struggling to find her place in the world. They are lyrics to a song that expressed what was in her heart, but poetry to this mother's ears :)
YOU
There's always something
In the way
There's always something
Getting through
But it's not me
It's you
Sometimes ignorance
Rings true
But hope is not in
What I know
Not in me
But in you
It's all I know
I find peace when
I'm confused
I find hope when
I'm let down
Not in me
But in you
I hope I love myself
For good
I hope to find it in the end
Not in me
In you
It's all I know
In you

I had to read your post twice - at first I thought it was a poem written by your daughter; then I saw it was song lyrics, in the form of a poem to you - what a lovely tribute to a great mom! And a beautiful happy photo!
I can hear it in my head! I'd love to hear it set to music. This is lovely!
"I hope I love myself for good..." this struck me--because this is what young women (and older ones!) are often struggling to do. It really resonated and I hope you let her know how lovely it is!
its a beautiful poem she picked for you. I love the picture with her and you at the ocean's edge.
betty
a beautiful gift to you...
A wonderful choice - i'm sure the music is as beautiful as the lyrics.
This must have made your heart swell to overwhelming proportions.....
A beautiful gift and lovely photo.
the sea seems to be a recurrent theme today. I adore this photo and the loving words.
Hi Tammy,
A great poem out here...you deserve it Tammy...beautiful!
Gee, guess your daughter is as insightful and artful as you. How nice!
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Talent runs in the family I see.
what a lovely tribute to you!
The relationship between you and your daughter must be a very special one. You must be a wonderful mother to a wonderful daughter. :)
Question: The link on the left says to join the tribute but I can not read what page it links to.
:-)
