The Son

April 15, 2017Vonita 7 Comments

Finding contentment

In a world of war

Finding peace 

In a heart of fear 

Finding happiness 

In the midst of pain

I found it all

When I found the Son

Child

Once there was a little boy
He was my pride and joy
That little boy has grown
A man now fills his place –
Sweet child was mine on loan

My Son

July 12, 2015Vonita 23 Comments

My son
First from my womb
Growing up in the shadows
Of a baby girl
Turning into a man
Taking my breath away
Sparkling blue eyes
For all I’ve done wrong
I’ve been blessed
With a son
Like you

Growing Up

You are turning into a man
And the baby I knew
Is gone from me
Slipped away and I wish
I could give that little boy
A hug from his mother
One more time

Guilt

You were my baby
You are my son
I was the only mother
I knew how to be
And when I think
Of how I’ve failed you so
My hope remains
That your spirit is greater
Than mine could ever
Have been

My Son

February 11, 2015Vonita 11 Comments

I am so proud of my son
I am proud of the man he is growing up to become
I am proud of the respect he has when speaking to his mum
For his strength of character
And his words of wisdom
I love him –
My son, my firstborn, my prince
