Our Children, Our obsession
Our first child is born
it is then we start to understand
the meaning of fear.
We fear for our present,
of not being able
to be there for them,
we fear for their future.
Enjoying the few intervals
of plain delight,
their very smile,
their first steps,
proto-words
that become an “I love you”
mommy , daddy.
We pain for the
heartbreaks
they soon will experience,
their frustrations
become ours
as well as their triumphs.
We fear for them
out in the world
without our protection;
he isn’t home yet,
hasn’t called.
Is he ok?
God keep him.
Please!
Hoping against hope
that the tools we gave them
are enough to stave back
the harsh light
of reality.
Be well my child,
god bless you
always.

Hey! Wait a minute! I've barely posted this at 1:04 am, and I get a comment at 1:06?? Is this a new form of SPAM come to haunt us simple spirits? A plug for Payday loans online? Is this an automatic SPAM form? This comment doesn't even seem to be about my posting. Generic? Hmm. This is a job for Henry's Babblings.
Great post, you've really captured a parent's feelings. Love that comment spam, eh? There's a way to block it in your comments settings.
Thank you RevZ and Elvira for the help, I've implemented Word Verification, now let's see some "Real" comments. The pic is of a sunset from my uncle's home in Barichara, Santander Colombia. The child is the son of his foreman.
The SPAM demons are swift and furious!
Reading the writings results in many thoughts....
That photo is awesome! I've actually taken a bunch of cloud pictures recently as well. Not too sure what I will do with them, but I liked what I was seeing, so I captured a bunch. I got a sweet double rainbow a few weeks ago too.
Not sure if Babblings is up for a job. I've been hibernating, but a few words have slipped through.
Beautiful words and photo!
Glad to see y'all come by. Henry, pursue those clouds ya know what lays at the end of the rainbow. Killer cold grabbed me by the balls ... just coming out of it. Blog-on! rob
In case any1 1ders where their spam-post went ... U can look in the trash, you'll find it among the re-cor-ded calls of Rudy-boy asking me to bote for Micky Gloom$$burgh, and Mr. Clifton.
